THE PURPOSE
===========

Everything for learning assembly language
in one pack! Emu8086 combines an advanced
source editor, assembler, disassembler,
software emulator (Virtual PC) with debugger,
and step by step tutorials.

This program is extremely helpful
for those who just begin to study assembly
language. It compiles the source code
and executes it on emulator step by step.

Visual interface is very easy to work with.
You can watch registers, flags and memory while
your program executes.

Arithmetic & Logical Unit (ALU) shows the
internal work of the central processor
unit (CPU).

Emulator runs programs on a Virtual PC,
this completely blocks your program from accessing
real hardware, such as hard-drives and memory,
since your assembly code runs on a virtual machine,
this makes debugging much easier.

8086 machine code is fully compatible with all next
generations of Intel's micro-processors, including
Pentium II and Pentium 4, I'm sure Pentium 5 will
support 8086 as well. This makes 8086 code very
portable, since it runs both on ancient and on
the modern computer systems. Another advantage
of 8086 instruction set is that it is much smaller,
and thus easier to learn.


DISTRIBUTION
============

You may copy the evaluation version of this
software and documentation as you wish,
and give exact copies of the original
evaluation version to anyone, and distribute
the evaluation version of the software and
documentation in its unmodified form via
electronic means.
