If you are already a git user, then working directly from the github repository and submitting pull requests is the way to go.  Non git users can merely send me (mark at infocomm.com) complete changed files along with a description (as verbose as you want) of what and/or why changes were made.  I'll commit the changes to the repo on your behalf. 

The latest simh.doc is in the doc directory in the github repository and available as part of the zip:  https://github.com/simh/simh/archive/master.zip

When sending changes, please work from the latest code in the repository.

Thanks.
