Re: Ada compiler in BASIC?

[e_erpelding@hotmail.com]

The article I was thinking of appeared in Dr Dobbs Journal,

The "Tiny" Pascal article you mention is this:

Chung Kin-Man and Yuen H (1978): A "Tiny" Pascal Compiler,
Byte Magazine, Volume 3, Numbers 9, 10, 11, September,
October, November 1978.

This looks like a very good article. Those older issue of
Byte magazine are a treasure trove of information.
