Given my previous posts on the subject, I feel compelled to relate to the (c.s.h.) world the current status of my RPL compiler. Due to situations beyond my control, my previous work on rplc was pretty much wasted. I have since restarted. It will now be a preprocessor to Jan's star. I expect the beta version to be available to all who want a copy by the end of February. (In all likelyhood, the beta version will simply take a src file with the extension .rpl and output a file w/ the extension .star, which can be used as src to star. I will wait until later to set up a full-fledged rplc command (I expect similar functionality to cc, complete w/ its interactions w/ the assembler.) I'll most likely post the beta version. It will come with a gnu-type copyleft. (I should also notet that I intend to use a symbols file which has the same syntax as sad .symbols files; thus the combination of sad, star & rplc will facilitate a fairly robust production environment, though not (yet) quite so robust as HP's development system.) I appologise for the delay from my previous estimates, but this version will be more powerful than the previous, so it should be worth the wait. -JimC -- James H.
