Package: GNU MIX Development Kit

The GNU MIX Development Kit  (MDK) provides tools for developing and executing, 
in a MIX virtual machine, MIXAL programs. The MIX is Donald Knuth\'s mythical 
computer (described in the first volume of  \"The Art of Computer 
Programming\"), which is programmed using MIXAL, the MIX assembly language. MDK 
includes a MIXAL assembler (mixasm) and a MIX virtual machine (mixvm) with a 
command line interface. 

In the short term, a GTK+-based GUI interface for the virtual machine and an 
Emacs version of the debugger shall be available.

It is worth noting that the MDK documentation provides a self-contained 
description of both the MIX computer and its assembly language, so that the MDK 
programs can be used without purchasing Knuth\'s books.
