+# About
+
+Mograsim is a modular, graphical simulator for teaching microprogramming, ISAs and 
+circuit logic in a way that allows for a smooth transition between those levels. 
+
+The aim is to give students a better understanding how these layers blend in a machine, 
+and what the purpose of microprogramming is. In more detail, Mograsim allows:
+
+* Programming and running simple assembler on the machine
+* Defining an ISA (Instruction Set) to use in the assembler
+* Microprogram the CPU to implement the specified ISA
+* View the Circuit Logic operating and executing the microprogram in detail
+
+Mograsim focuses especially on the AMD Am2900 Family microprocessors in a specific 
+16-bit arrangement used by the Technical University of Munich as an example.
