Documentation and list of supported system calls #1

Hi Pete,

I appreciate your work on MARS. I've been using it to teach introduction to computer architecture for many years now.

Would it be possible for this repo to host the MARS documentation, including the list of supported system calls? I know the jar contains the list in its Help menu (I know this because I received a panicked email from a student yesterday about the MARS website being down and had to track the list down) but in many ways it's easier to just have a link from the course web page to the documentation.

In case you were unaware, GitHub will let you host per-repository static websites which would work nicely for the MARS documentation. https://pages.github.com/

Steve,

Thanks! This was an emergency situation. Missouri State IT admins gave Ken 4 days notice that faculty websites would go away. MARS homesite was located on his. He quickly uploaded everything to his Google drive and shared it with me. Meantime, I have a github account but had never used it. So I quickly set up a repository to host the JAR file for download. Haven't gotten to the documentation yet but I have the code. I REALLY appreciate the link you sent for website within github, as I was not aware of that feature! It may be a few days before I can get to it. Thanks!

I understand how that goes! I appreciate you getting this repo up so quickly.
