Does anyone have/know about a mix interpreter and/or mixal assembler? I'd like a copy (c source prefered) (MIX is Knuth's example machine that appears in The Art of Computer Programming) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo internet: lhf@aries5.waterloo.edu Computer Systems Group bitnet: lhf@watcsg University of Waterloo (possible domains are waterloo.edu and uwaterloo.ca) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I might have to write my own interpreter and assembler. In any case, I'll post it to the net (any suggestions for the group?). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo internet: lhf@aries5.waterloo.edu Computer Systems Group bitnet: lhf@watcsg University of Waterloo (possible domains are waterloo.edu and uwaterloo.ca) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a project for somebody's class. They were all written in TI980 assembly, though. I thought everybody including Knuth agreed that MIX may have been relevant to its time (implementations of the various functions were often, maybe usually, done in assembly) but that, these days, high level languages are the way to go for 'most everything, like describing and coding algorithms. -- -- uunet!ficc!karl "Have you debugged your wolf today?"
