Rather than simply rekindle this annual discussion, I've decided to create a data point. So, you can read about (and download) an experimental PDP-8 C compiler at: http://www.so-much-stuff.com/pdp8/C/C.php I thought about delaying this notice until the first, but decided that since there really is a compiler of sorts there, that it would be more appropriate to do it now. Comments about the design decisions, improvements for the code, etc. are all welcome. Vince -- o< The ASCII Ribbon Campaign Against HTML Email!
