cool, wouldn't mind having a look.  My solution was pretty taylored to the
problem of binary translation.. it is a part of the University of
Queensland Binary Translator project, which is a "re-source-able"
decompiler that produces C code without control flow constructs (other
than goto).. so essentially you can take a binary off any architecture you
have a specification file for and produce C code that you can compile onto
any architecture that you have a c compiler for.  So really my code is
pimarily aimed at compile low level c to a bytecode that interfaces with a
support library that provides unix like functions.

Does Steve's code support floats?  Would someone care to enroll me on this
mailing list?
