OK, I'll think about it.
If you buy the $79 C source for the interpreter,
you can build the interpreter using Lcc, so I imagine
you might be able to build it using Pelles C,
without too much trouble. Having the interpreter running
on the PPC might be even more useful than having a version
of the Translator for the PPC, and since it would be a port to
a new platform, you could distribute it freely and even
charge for it.
