If you are an Emacs user and write your MIXAL programs using this
editor, you will find the elisp program @file{mixvm.el} quite
useful@footnote{@file{mixvm.el} has been kindly contributed by
@value{PHILIP}. @file{mixvm.el} is based on a study of gdb, perldb, and
pdb as found in @file{gud.el}, and @file{rubydb3x.el} distributed with
the source code to the Ruby language.}. @file{mixvm.el} allows running
the MIX virtual machine @code{mixvm} (@pxref{mixvm}) inside an Emacs
@acronym{GUD} buffer, while visiting the MIXAL source file in another
buffer.

After installing @file{mixvm.el} (@pxref{Emacs support}), you can
initiate an @sc{mdk}/@acronym{GUD} session inside Emacs with the command

@example
M-x mixvm
@end example

@noindent
and you will have a @code{mixvm} prompt inside a newly created
@acronym{GUD} buffer. @acronym{GUD} will reflect the current line in the
corresponding source file buffer.
