Welcome to GNU MDK.GNU MDK is part of the GNU project [0].MDK stands for MIX Development Kit, and provides tools for developingand executing, in a MIX virtual machine, MIXAL programs.The MIX is Donald Knuth's mythical computer, described in the firstvolume of The Art of Computer Programming, which is programmed usingMIXAL, the MIX assembly language.MDK includes a MIXAL assembler (mixasm) and a MIX virtual machine(mixvm) with a command line interface.  In addition, a GTK+ GUI tomixvm, called gmixvm, is provided; and, in case you are an Emacs guy,you can try misc/mixvm.el, which allows running mixvm inside an EmacsGUD buffer.Using these interfaces, you can debug your MIXAL programs at sourcecode level, and read/modify the contents of all the components of theMIX computer (including block devices, which are simultated using thefile system).Project homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/mdk/mdk.htmlGNU 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.
