1. The Source Code
Any idea when the commented source code will be
available ?
I must be pretty stupid because I can't guess how
the the source code fits together yet.
I keep reading how easy it has been for some people
to upgrade the code with all these features and
I'am still trying to figure out the structure of the
interpeter and how everything interacts.
I must confess that when I thought about purchasing
the source that I thought adding something would be
a matter of reading documents and following examples.
Most compilers/interpeters I understand use some form of grammer
with some form of a yacc and a lex; with explaintions of the
emitted byte codes.
I guess I didn't expect a hand coded, hand optimized interpeter.
If everyone thinks that adding featutes is so easy, please
explain to me what I'am missing or not understanding.
Maybe there needs to be a beginners manual for the source code.

I'm working on the 'goto' statement right now. I picked the 'goto' because
the syntax is pretty simple. (Plus, if I get it working, I can send a copy to
Kat). The code compiles, but crashes - I'm probably plugging in the wrong
address.
I'll be glad to send you my notes. But I'd prefer to be able to keep the
discussion on this list, so it can involve as many people as possible. I sent
a copy of my notes to Robert for review, so I can know what level of detail
is appropriate.
I appreciate what Karl has done, but I think it would be of more value to the
community if as much of this information were made public as possible. This
is, of course, hampered by not being able to reveal too much about the source.
