Possible?  Sure.  But it would be difficult; you would need to simulate
a binary machine - C has a whole bunch of stuff that is defined to
operate "as if" certain things are stored in binary.  Coupled with the
way anything can be copied by using char-based types, you end up
needing a binary machine, whether real or simulated.
