   Jun.30.2021 update.  The VM is framed.  The VM's hardware debugger is   
   framed.  The Inspire ISA assembler is framed (handles lexing and macro   
   expansion).  I'm working on the assembler and disassembler in parallel.   
   I have an IDE I've built which has source code, assembly, the register   
   environment, support for viewing its two SMT states (called main and   
   love), as well as an ad hoc query window, and a VM output window /   
   journal.   
      
   I've coded the text editor that's in use (I call it SEM).  The VM IDE   
   is currently unnamed (I just call it IVM), but it will have popout   
   windows for stack, memory, watch, breakpoints, etc.   
      
   Once I get the assembler working I'll begin working on the BIOS code.   
   Once BIOS is sufficiently developed, I'll begin working on the OS code   
   in parallel.
