I am not very fond of those toolkits, mainly because the error messages are often very bad. And for the very simple grammar of Jal the amount of work in the lex/parse part is small. There real work is in the reduction of HLL constructs to simpler constructs, the register allocation and (still to de finished!) intelligent handling of code page settings. > I have a small question: Where are the include files that go > with jal ? I guess you got the Jal compiler source from Source Forge? That is still 'under construction'. I have a download at my Jal page http://www.voti.nl/jal that includes the libraries. There is also a lot of work from others at the Jallist webpage (files section), and do check Vasile's and Stef's pages.
