+
+;;; Commentary:
+;; Major mode for the mix asm language.
+;; The mix asm language is described in "The Art Of Computer Programming".
+;;
+;; For optimal use, also use GNU MDK. Compiling needs mixasm, running
+;; and debugging needs mixvm and mixvm.el from GNU MDK. You can get
+;; GNU MDK from `https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/mdk/' and
+;; `ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/mdk'.
+;;
+;; To use this mode, place the following in your .emacs file:
+;; `(load-file "/PATH-TO-FILE/mixal-mode.el")'.
+;; When you load a file with the extension .mixal the mode will be started
+;; automatic. If you want to start the mode manual, use `M-x mixal-mode'.
+;; Font locking will work, the behavior of tabs is the same as emacs
+;; default behavior. You can compile a source file with `C-c c' you can
+;; run a compiled file with `C-c r' or run it in debug mode with `C-c d'.
+;; You can get more information about a particular operation code by using
+;; mixal-describe-operation-code or `C-h o'.
+;;
+;; Have fun.
+
+;;; History:
+;; Version 0.1:
+;; Version 0.1.1:
+;; 22/11/02: bugfix in fontlocking, needed to add a '-' to the regex.
+;; 19/11/02: completed implementing mixal-describe-operation-code.
+;; 13/11/02: implemented compile, mixal-run and mixal-debug.
+;; 10/11/02: implemented font-locking and syntax table.
+;; 09/11/02: started mixal-mode.
