However, if you're going for an open-source "stamp", you might as well make it an open-source byte-code interpreter. That way people can write compilers for BASIC, Forth, Java, whatever. *If* the bytecode interpreter is made general enough it should be able to cover most languages. LISP on a PIC anyone? :) Seriously, I'd be interested in helping to design such a bytecode interpreter. I'd also like to see it licensed in such a way that commercial sources could sell this so that not everybody would need a programmer to use it. -- D. Jay Newman ! jay@sprucegrove.com !
