Sorry Jody, I don't want to sound nasty since I have done 0% contribution
myself but we shouldn't have to tell you to add a link. When somebody like
Bram Lohman emails the list that he has Elks running on an emulator and that
is it freely available to download than you as the site admin should, as a
bare minimum, add the link without one of us telling you to do so.

Since you are very busy (which I fully understand) can I suggest you share
the admin details with a few more people or better speak to Mario to get a
wiki page added.

Back to work :-)

Regards,
Hans.
