+ What is the MIX?
+ </font></p>
+ <b>MIX</b> is Donald Knuth's mythical computer as described
+ in his monumental work <a
+ href="http://Sunburn.Stanford.EDU/~knuth/taocp.html"> The
+ Art Of Computer Programming</a>. As any of its real
+ counterparts, the MIX features registers, memory cells, an
+ overflow toggle, comparison flags, input-output devices, and
+ a set of binary instructions executable by its virtual
+ CPU. You can programme the MIX using an assembly language
+ called <b>MIXAL</b>, the MIX Assembly Language. <p> So,
+ what's the use of learning MIXAL? Well, if you're interested
+ in programming, please buy, borrow or steal a copy of TAOCP,
+ and you'll see the use.

+ What is the MDK?
+ </font></p>
+ The <b>M</b>IX <b>D</b>evelopment <b>K</b>it offers an emulation of
+ <b>MIX</b> and <b>MIXAL</b>. The <a href="download.html">
+ current version</a> of MDK includes two applications:
+ <ul>
+ <li><b><i>mixasm</i></b> A MIXAL compiler, which
+ translates your source files into binary ones, executable
+ by the MIX virtual machine.
+ <li><b><i>mixvm</i></b> A MIX virtual machine which is
+ able to run and debug compiled MIXAL programs, using a
+ command line interface with readline's line editting
+ capabilities.
+ </ul>
+ Using the MDK tools, you'll be able to
+ <ul>
+ <li>write, compile and execute MIXAL programs,
+ <li>set breakpoints and run your programs step by step,
+ <li>inspect and modify the MIX registers, flags and memory
+ contents at any step,
+ <li>simulate MIX input-output devices using the standard
+ output and your file system.
+ </ul>
+ See the MDK <a href="mdk.html">user's manual</a> for a complete
+ description of the toolkit.
+ The MDK utils will run on any GNU/Linux box (see
+ <a href="download.html#reqs">requirements</a>) and, of course, are
+ <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">free software</a>.
