the CSC258 computer and its assembler and simulator
and a warning concerning its operation.
This program is also available on cdf in source
form as /h/u1/hehner/ax.c and as executable /h/u1/hehner/ax
Here is a little assembler program to try, if you like.
And here is a function to print an integer.
David Wolever tells how to edit ax in vim and how to run ax on a Mac.
Be sure to test your program using ax on cdf because that's how it will be marked.
