+GNU Cim is a compiler for the programming language Simula. It offers
+a class concept, separate compilation with full type checking,
+interface to external C routines, an application package for process
+simulation and a coroutine concept.
+
+The portability of GNU Cim is based on the C programming language.
+The compiler and the run-time system is written in C, and the compiler
+produces C code, that is passed to a C compiler for further processing
+towards machine code.
