-  vov (Vov's Obsessive Von-Neumann) is a tool that emulates the behavior of a Von-Neumann machine.
-  It is basically an interpreter, which reads files in the form of memory assignments and executes
-  the encoded instructions. The vov's instructions make you able to perform simple arithmetic data
-  manipulation. It is a very useful tool to see if your programs work and how.
