-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BSVC is a microprocessor simulation framework written in C++ and Tcl/Tk.
It was developed as a senior project at North Carolina State University
by Bradford W. Mott.  BSVC provides a graphical user interface and a
collection of C++ classes to facilitate the development of microprocessor
simulators.  So far the BSVC framework has been used to developed a 
Motorola 68000 simulator and a HECTOR 1600 simulator.  The BSVC distribution 
contains the following:

  * BSVC Graphical User Interface (written in Tcl/Tk)

  * BSVC Simulator Framework (C++ classes)

  * Motorola 68000 simulator & assembler (including the M68681 Dual UART)

  * Hector 1600 simulator & assembler


CHANGES
=======

The following changes have been made:

  1.0 to 1.0.1:
    a) Memory viewer's dump utility fixed

    b) Bug in Sim68000's CMP and CMPA instructions fixed

    c) Solaris support added

  1.0b3 to 1.0:

    a) The memory viewer has been made larger and faster

    b) WWW Home Page selection has been added to the help menu
       This starts a WWW browser pointed at the BSVC Home Page

    c) Added code to handle the STOP instruction

    d) Fixed a problem with the RTS instruction

    e) Unimplemented intructions cause an illegal instruction exception

    f) Fixed the 68000 assembler's INCLUDE directive so that it can
       be in any case

    g) Compiles with GCC 2.6.2
