- I was planning to make a 'c' compiler as well, however the code generation
- would be difficult, and the compiler would probibly require a 128k card of it's
- own... So I am considering instead leaving the code generation phase out, and
- just having a c compiler that could check for errors. You could then upload
- the source code to your pc and compile it... better than nothing since I can't
- afford a laptop yet. A previous poster was correct in stating that the HP48
- is not the right platform for ansi-c. Any 'c' compiler for the hp would be
- different from ansi-c except for the basic syntax.
-
- Most of my intrest in a 'c' compiler for the 48 would be that I wouldn't have
- to learn to program in saturn assembly, but my intrest faded when I realized
- that I would have to learn saturn to code the compiler anyway.
-
- good luck...
