- I forgot the smiley. Doug Gwyn (if it's the same Doug Gwyn; evidently
- there are two of them running around) is a IIgs owner and is also active
- in the C standards community. Now _that's_ cool. :)

- The thought has crossed my mind. It would be a fair amount of work;
- currently, the majority is in 65816 assembly language (for code size
- reasons- IIgs C compilers don't yet generate particularly small or
- fast code, but that should change in a few weeks) except for the
- new lexer and parser, which are in C (my language of choice when I
- can get away with it). The implementation is extremely straightforward
- and efficient, however, so it shouldn't be too great a task.
- When I pick up a 486 I'll probably start coding a port just for fun.
