-	  in his monumental work <a
-	  href="http://Sunburn.Stanford.EDU/~knuth/taocp.html"> The
-	  Art Of Computer Programming</a>. As any of its real

-	  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 ;-).
