I've been told by ast that the ACK is HUGE, and the compiler-compiler is a significant fraction of that; i.e., prob'ly way too big to fit on a PC anyway... On the other hand, if you're masochistic, the intermediate-code ("EM") IS fully documented in the manual, which means that if you want you're perfectly free to hand-code your OWN code generator... 8-) 8-) -- Jim Paradis, Encore Computer (.signature undergoing renovations.
