Try emulating the PL/1 compiler. Lovely piece of stuctured code. Was given the green and white 66 line stripey paper source code (about two inches thick) in in my degreee exam as a question, asked to break it down to modules & inputs and outputs. Sad geek that I was, did it in 15 mins.
Pitty they could not get the original girls back. When the machines were rebuilt, they came to B.P. and went back into their old routine. During the war after a while they would "guess" possible start position combinations.
No time for that, shame. I was deeply impressed with their retained "bone knowledge" at the time.
Also a shame not replicating "Y" stations, and sending the intercepts by motorbike.
