   I haven't followed MMIX lately.  Is there a C compiler to generate   
   MMIX code?   
      
   When I first learned assembly (for OS/360) all my programs were   
   Fortran callable subroutines or functions.  That made it much easier   
   as all the I/O was done in Fortran, and I could concentrate on the   
   logic.   
      
   I would say it is the best way to practice assembler programming for   
   most processors while you are learning it one step at a time.   
      
   I don't know if the MMIX C compiler is good enough, though.
