In addition, a GTK+ GUI to +mixvm, called gmixvm, is provided; and, in case you are an Emacs guy, +you can try misc/mixvm.el, which allows running mixvm inside an Emacs +GUD buffer. + +Using these interfaces, you can debug your MIXAL programs at source +code level, and read/modify the contents of all the components of the +MIX computer (including block devices, which are simultated using the +file system). + + +URLs: + +Project homepage: http://mdk.sourceforge.net +Download: http://download.sourceforge.net/mdk/ + +GNU MDK is free software. Please see the file COPYING for details. + +For documentation, please see the files in the doc subdirectory. + +For building and installation instructions please see the INSTALL file. + +For sample MIXAL programs, please see the samples subdirectory. + +For translations (MDK uses GNU's gettext), please see the po subdirectory[1]. + +-- +[0] To learn more about GNU, the FSF and its goals, please visit + http://www.gnu.org. + +[1] New translations are welcome.
