I was hoping someone would do this!

I have been researching/playing around with Macro-10 using the simh PDP-10 emulator just for fun recently. I have always been curious about the inner workings of the 8080 emulator Paul Allen developed for running this code on a "fake" Altair. Maybe this source code could provide some insight into how Micro-Soft went about getting to a fully working BASIC for the Altair step by step from the very beginning.
