- There's a BCPL* compiler bootstrap kit with an INTCODE interpreter in
- C. It compiles on CP/M, MSDOS and Unix. Executables for CP/M and DOS
- are also provided. You can get it from ftp.syd.dit.csiro.au
- [130.155.128.3] in [.languages]bcpl.tar_z (VMS machine). The kit is
- based on the INTCODE bootstrap technique explained in the book BCPL:
- The language and its implementation, Richards and another (not certain
- of title, book's at home).
-
- Remember, it's an interpretive system for bootstrapping purposes, so
- expect a 10 to 20 times hit compared with native code.
-
- The interpreter was done for fun so it's offered as is, no support,
- USTL. But if you do anything weird with it, do let me know.
-
- *BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language) is a system programming
- language invented by Martin Richards. It's a typeless language with
- only one data type, the machine word. Some of its ideas have
- influenced C.
