Hi all, 

   I recently read an article on composite structures on
the hp28.  This described how programs, strings, lists, etc
were stored on the hp.  It also said how to create a string
of hex digits that the program SYS could convert into executable
form.  With Eric Toonen's list of sysevals, you could create a
pseudo-complier that would take a program and convert it into
a string of hex digits which could be typed into the hp.  These 
programs would execute (much?) faster and would probably take
less memory.  

   Now for my question(s).
       
   Has anyone:
   a) seen such a program?
   b) written such a beast?
   c) thought of writing one?
   d) seen or heard of an assembler?
