This project is an attempt of rewriting as many UNIX commands and utilities as
possible in pure assembly language, without using the C library or any
other library whatsoever. All functionality required by The Single UNIX
Specification 2 (UNIX98) from The Open Group should be implemented.

Assmebly langage makes the binaries tiny (all simple utilities are under 1kb),
and fast (all they use is the kernel and it is always there and ready to 
serve a syscall).

PORTABILITY:
Currently ASMIX utilities compile and run on the following platforms and
operating systems:
  x86 : Linux, FreeBSD, LynxOS, Solaris, UnixWare
  ppc : Linux, LynxOS
sparc : Solaris, SunOS
pdp11 : UNIX
Platforms and systems are added as they become available to the author.

DISTRIBUTION:
The binary files, documentation, and machine-readable sources are available
free of charge from:
	USA:    http://www.lionking.org/~cubbi/serious/asmix.html
	RUSSIA: http://www.inorg.chem.msu.ru/~cubbi/serious/asmix.html
Bug fixes, requests for enhancements and other forms of support will
be available on commercial basis later (when/if the project progresses)
