 Subj: POWERFUL SCRIPT PROCESSOR     Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE

    The ideas I am kicking call for a standard procedural language that 
 is compiled into a subset of Forth. To this end I am trying to gather up
 details about how Forths are themselves implemented. The compiler itself
 will be written in a procedural language (Modula-2) since I am most 
 familiar with the block structured style of programming techniques.
    You mentioned some things about parser generators like YACC. Alas I 
 have looked at PC versions of these programs and can find no 
 documentation whatsoever. They all refer to the Unix documenation.

 BTW today I bought a mouse so I will spend the next few days writing a 
 Module to support the rodent in my projects.
