1) The readme is out-of-date, and unreadable on github 2) Some tools have their own directories, some don't 3) Many tools have neither readme nor descriptions. 4) Some files are misplaced This reorganizes so that each tool has its own directory, even if it only has a single file (Hint: If you use a tool, please add/update READMEs) The master README is complete, and readable on github The tools are in alphabetical order within category. There are some cases where this probably isn't the right thing to do, e.g. where there are separate tools that do "to" and "from" conversions. Each tool has at least a 1-line description in the master readme This commit does not change any tool.
#simh support/migration tools.
The tools are organized into categories, each of which has a subdirectory.
For consistency, each tool has its own subdirectory, even if it only contains a single file. (READMEs for tools without them are welcome)
