Hi, some months ago someone posted to the net that he had written an Intercal compiler or interpreter. I haven't heard anything about such a beast since then - but since a group alt.lang.intercal has been created in the meantime, I presume it exists (I don't get the alt.* groups over here). Anybody know a site where I can get the compiler / interpreter plus a complete language description (by mail server or anon ftp) ? Please respond by email or post to comp.lang.misc (like I said, I don't get alt.lang.intercal) if you think this is of general interest.

The compiler does exist, and I guess I'm the holder of the latest revision of it... not the original author, but I have made a lot of bug/feature fixes, and have posted them to alt.lang.intercal in the past. >Anybody know a site where I can get the compiler / interpreter >plus a complete language description (by mail server or anon ftp) ? The idea of setting up a site was suggested in a.l.i, but never acted on, as far as I know... If someone would be willing to volunteer, I'm still willing to continue to update the sources, but can't really maintain an ftp site/ mail server. -steve -- -------------------------------------------------------+"Come, Watson, come!"

I wrote this puppy. I'm going to post version 5 as soon as I can shake loose a couple days to merge in the fixes I've been sent. -- Eric S.
