TITLE
        cw - Core Ware with visual display

INTENDED ENVIRONMENT
        UNIX

TESTED ENVIRONMENTS
        BSD 4.2 VAX 11/750

DESCRIPTION
        Cw is the "Core War" game system.  There are three programs in
        this system, "rcasm" the assembler, "unrc" the disassembler, and
        "mars" the simulator.  By default the simulator runs in visual
        mode (representing the memory array with a box of periods ('.')),
        but can be run in non-visual mode where you have the option to
        print each instruction as it is executed.
     
        This program is entirely new and has not been posted previously.

NOTES
        Cw uses curses, lex, yacc and bitfields.  If your system does
        not have virtual memory, some of the sizes defined in "cw.h"
        will have to be changed.  There is no equivalent of a "fork"
        instruction in this implementation, but "mars" can run more
        than two programs at once.

CHALLENGE
        Lets have a net-wide battle where those participating post
        their best redcode program to net.sources.games.  Winners are
        invited to boast on net.games.

WHEREAMI
        net.sources.games
