In article <447@ima.UUCP> you write:
>can anyone out there tell me if i can find a code generator (public domain or
>commercially available) that satisfies the following conditions ...

The Amsterdam Compiler Kit (ACK), currently available through Unipress Software,
fills this bill nicely. It has code generators for vax, ibm pc (8086), pdp11
and 6800, and I think 68000, using a well defined stack based pseudo code.

From what I know about it, the 6 man months given in the request is about what
it would take to write a code generator for a new machine.
