Build your own 100-word computer (Simpletron) Look under Projects/Assignments link.	Requirements A) Part-1 Machine Language 1)     Use a sentinel-controlled loop to read 10 positive integers and compute and print their sum 2)     Use a counter-controlled loop to read seven numbers, some positive and some negative, and compute and print their average. 3)     Read a series of numbers and determine and print the largest number. The first number read indicates how many numbers should be processed.  B) Part-2: C-Programming  Write the code to interpret/compile the SML programs.   Your C-program should give the user two options to enter the SML code (1 & 2 as follows):       1. Interactively by entering each instruction at the command-line, one instruction at a time.       2. By reading the SML instructions-code from a file. Your program should read all the instructions from the file and proceeds execution.             C) Simpletron Specs with SML (machine language) sample programs.

III. PalmOS	Install PALM  OS Developer Studio  from the course ftp site (download and install- big file: ~275MB). Installing the developer studio (or also called developer suite) will install automatically with it the following:             1. PalmOS SDK environment             2. Cygwin (PRC-Tools including Pilrc)             3. PalmOS Emulator             4. PalmOS Simulator Download instructions on how to create a project in Developer Studio, and related tools (i.e. Cygwin options and feedback on some errors). pilrc -resource compiler (install only if you downloaded developer studio and had a Pilrc Error when you attempt to build the project--this means that the pilrc executable is missing from developer studio's Cygwin tool. If so, then install the pilrc tool and then look for and copy pilrc.exe into the bin/ directory inside C:\PalmOSCygwin). Cygwin (no need to install this if you already installed developer studio with the install Cygwin option)
