Hi Neil - Cris Cranford over in "compilers101" is in the early stages
of writing a BASIC as well - I can't remember if I ever dragged you
into that group before, but if not, why not come over and join us.
This is exactly the sort of stuff we do! I'm actually working on a
compiler myself at the moment too - it's about the same level as
BASIC, and I'm playing around with different back-ends - so far I have
an interpreter, and a C emitter, and a 3-address emitter, but I'm
looking to do x86 code next - maybe you can help me with that..? I
have one 'real life' test program written for this cut-down language -
it's a fairly powerful programmable text editor.
