TRS-80 pointer to Kyotronic about hoard-of-bitfonts

[hackerb9]

By the way: Symlinks may not be well supported by git on Microsoft Windows — I think one has to check a box during installation — but it's still better to have these links than not. I'm guessing that most people will be browsing the project using GitHub's web interface, not through git, so symlinks will work seamlessly. Being UNIX, GNU/Linux and Apple MacOS work fine. The only case where it would not work is if someone used 'git clone' from a Microsoft Windows machine which did not have symlinks enabled. The failure state is minor: a symlink would seem to contain the text of the correct path to open.

Hi, Sorry, I'm not going to put in symlinks, it'll just become harder to manage. I may put in some reference in the README at some point but I don't think it's super important, and the more references I make the harder it will be to reorganise later. There are many, many other machines that are stored in odd locations in that repo, mostly because they are in some way related to another line of machines. A search for TRS-80 in the repo will already bring up the kyotronic directory, with a README indicating which font is for the Model 100, so it's not terribly difficult to find.

That makes sense. Thanks for considering it.
