Notes for users of the Debian packaging of Mixal
================================================
The MIXAL interpreter and MIX emulator binary is called `mixal'. Yes,
there is a brief manual page.
The examples distributed in the upstream package are not included,
since it is not certain whether they can legally be distributed with
this program: they come verbatim from Knuth's book (see below), which
is copyrighted. See the file copyright in this directory for a
detailed explanation of the situation.
The example programs omitted from this package can be found in Knuth's
book (see below) in Section 2.2.5 (for the elevator simulation), in
Exercise 1.3.2[8] (for the mystery program) and as Program 1.3.2P (for
the primes program).
You can find a description of the MIX computer and the MIXAL language
in Donald E. Knuth's book The Art of Computer Programming, Volume I
(Fundamental Algorithms), 3rd Ed, Addison-Wesley, 1997, pages 124-163.
