This file may be freely copied and distributed, provided that no changes
whatsoever are made. All users are asked to help keep the MMIXware files
consistent and ``uncorrupted,'' identical everywhere in the world. Changes
are permissible only if the modified file is given a new name, different
from the names of existing files in the MMIXware package, and only if the
modified file is clearly identified as not being part of that package. (The
CWEB system has a ``change file'' facility by which users can easily make
minor alterations without modifying the master source files in any way.
Everybody is supposed to use change files instead of changing the files.)
The author has tried his best to produce correct and useful programs, in
order to help promote computer science research, but no warranty of any
kind should be assumed.
