I have a short (500 lines of C) toy compiler that might be of interest
of others. It eats a sort of mini-ALGOL (called FOOGOL IV) and
produces VAX UNIX assebler source. The compiler is based on the VALGOL
I compiler by G.A. Edgar in Dr. Dobb's Journal May 1985.

I beleive it could be of interest for people who have just begun
hacking compilers, and want to see how recursive-descent works, or
learn by featurize it.

Is mod.sources the right place to send it? Or what?
