someone can clarify the contraddiction between what mr. Philgren and Mr. 
Morris re. greenpea PDP-12 emulator license ?

side note, someone can assess if the scant documentation available about 
PDP-5 is enough for at least a preliminary implementation ? (aside that 
there's still many things to do on -8's front.. first and foremost the 
DECTape mark issue (I'm still occasionally banging my head around 
DECSYSTEM-7...)

of course upgrading /PDP8 into a /PDP12b is a welcome improvement, at 
least for me...

Best regards from Italy,
