[SCC_Active_Members] modern-day relay computer

[Ward Cunningham]

I wrote a simulator of Harry Porter's Relay Computer as a way of  
vicariously enjoying the making of such a machine. I've added a web  
interface which I share here in confidence as I have not yet gotten  
Dr. Porter's permission to distribute this widely. Best regards. -- Ward
