[Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of dunac

A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org.
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden


Alceste Scalas <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: dunac
System name: dunac
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

The project is called DUNAC (from DUNAC Users Need A Compiler --- it is a long 
story :-), and it is the emulator of a computer
architecture, inspired by the Andrew Tanenbaum\'s MIC1 didactic system
from the book \"Structured Computer Organization --- third edition\".

The program emulates a system with a  microprocessor that can be
microprogrammed, thus making it possible to execute code written with
the proper instruction set, or create a brand-new microprogram to
decode  brand-new instructions.  Actually, one microprogram is
included in the package, that supports the MAC1 assembly described in
the Tanenbaum\'s book above.

This project has been started two years ago, as a (little) thesis for
the computer architecture university course.  Recently, the teacher
of that course decided to use DUNAC as a didactic tool, an so I
made some code cleanups, added some enhancements (such as a GNU
readline interface and GNU autoconf/automake support), and released
the project under the GNU GPL.  Actually I\'m looking for a place
to host it.

So, DUNAC already exists and you can see it at http://tjoad.supereva.it (of 
course the actual hosting is awful, and
that\'s the reason that made me try here on savannah.gnu.org).
