- kvik - A Kvikkalkul Compiler
- ----------------------------
-
- Written by Asher Hoskins. (ukrhosk@prl.philips.co.uk)
-
- A few weeks ago somebody posted a description of a Swedish military programming
- language called Kvikkalkul to alt.folklore.computers. The posting was
- probably a troll but I was feeling silly so I decided to write a compiler
- for it. The compiler translates the code into C.
-
- The start of the original Kvikkalkul news posting contained dire warnings
- about what would happen to anyone who was caught in possession of the
- information in Sweden - you've been warned! :-)
-
- This compiler has so far been tested on a Sun386i running SunOS 4.0.2 and
- a SPARCstation IPX running SunOS 4.1.3_U1, I've no idea whether it'll run
- on anything else, let me know if there are any hacks necessary to compile
- it for other systems.
-
-
- The directories:
-
- kviksrc Assorted Kvikkalkul source code.
- src The compiler source, look in its README file for information
- on making and running the compiler.
- text Assorted text files. Mostly notes I made during development,
- but includes a list of all standard library routines and the
- two news postings that brought knowledge of kvikkalkul to the
- world (the first of which, 'posting1', is a useful Kvikkalkul
- manual).
-
- I haven't found any bugs in this version, but somebody probably will...
- If you do could you please mail me?
-
- Asher.
