I personally think string handling is easier than bit munging; it depends
on
the person :)

Check out my compiler (only compatible with Rod's simulator sofar) @
http://tenbux.homepage.com/. It has a few neat features you might like;
read the online docs.

I was considering adding features to it, but Rod hasn't been forthcoming
with his new version yet so I can look at it. Your simulator may be just
the excuse I need ;)  Once you're finished (or close), how about sending
me some specs on it, so I can add it to my compiler?

It's alot of fun to code [big] projects with other people. I spent last
summer
doing this very same thing with Martin, entirely by email. Although we
didn't
produce any final code, the stuff we learned helped us in other areas too
(not just CoreWars).
