Honoured Ladies and Gentlemen,
it was 13 years ago, that I took over vbSpec and I must admint that in 13 years I have been doing ... well ... nothing on it (except for some extensions at the very beginning). I decided, that this was enough of doing nothing, so I did revive (kind of) the project. You can find it under http://vbspec.sourceforge.net/
Here you can also access the source code for version 1.80.
The next thing I plan is, to migrate the vbSpec emulator in a .NET environment. This is not going to happen any time soon (since I do not even have a Windows partition on my laptop -- I switched to Linux some 6 years ago), but I am working on it (beside this, at my job I also have to deal with Visual Studio and the appropiate tools).
I have no idea, how long this would take (Microsoft released a special tool to _analyze_ the possible problems by such migration projects -- this is scary), but I shall let you know how it progresses.
In the moment I acquired an opti-rack, which I am going to place in my laptop, together with an SSD drive (this is still in a shop somewhere) and this is going to be the Windows Partition, which will make me able to start the migration project.
Thank you for your attention.
Best Regards,
Miklos Muhi
PS: I could not download any of the emulators on Friday (two days ago). The FTP links kept asking for a user name and password. If you wish to dowload vbSpec, please follow the SourceForge link (or, if anyone has the means to do it, please update the link on the Emulators page). Thank you.
