If you have info on any product including the Haris compiler I'd like it. Related info is also welcome, ie other compilers with flexible language input/output, pd implementations, etc. Does anyone feel that this would be a useful tool? Thanks, Clyde A STANDARD! 77 character line lenghts!

The C compiler has existed for a while. As I understand it, a reasonably usable version (1.1) will be released soon, just before they can the remaining software developer at Harris. But, this is a C to RTX assembly language compiler, NOT a C to Forth compiler. (There is a BIG difference -- the compiler makes use of special-purpose RTX registers, and assumes the existence of a frame pointer with memory-resident stack indepenent of the data stack). And, the code quality, while adequate, is not great (it is a one-pass compiler that makes no attempt to keep things on the stack for later use). So, I'm willing to bet that it isn't terribly useful for general-purpose C to Forth code translation. Phil Koopman koopman@greyhound.ece.cmu.edu Internet 2525A Wexford Run Rd.

The tragedy is that by releasing this sort of software in the public domain they might be able to save the chip (which they've already decided to kill anyway).

It should be fairly easy except for words like postpone and evaluate. But I have solved problems like this before and I will again (and again and again....ad nausum) --- eric -- ... ^^^ eric johansson UUCP ...!uunet!wang!harvee!esj esj@harvee.uucp * * a juggling fool AT&T (617) 577-4068 (w) o HAM ka1eec \_/ CSNET johansson%hydra@polaroid.com or hydra!johansson@polaroid.com source of the public's fear of the unknown since 1956
