Abstract

The appearance of microprocessor based computing systems has put the cost of hardware virtually within the reach of everybody. Software for such systems, however, hasn't even come near matching the ever expanding selection of gear. To help solve the software generation problem, many language processors have been developed. Since the products involved tend to have such restricted environments, these processors are usually run on machines that are much larger than the target processing system. It is quite common to have these processors available on the local time sharing network.
