Congratulations!  Writing a compiler is interesting, but is a *big*
fscking project.  When I took Compilers the language we wrote a
compiler for was a Python subset, using lex and yacc.

I don't know this PCCTS thing.  Will it run under Linux?

Hey, that's really neat.  

Unfortunately, my compiler was lost in the Great Hard Drive Crash of
2000.  I always thought it would be neat to make it emit 6809 instead
of x86.  

What makes you *cool* is that you actually do stuff instead of just
thinking that it would be cool to do. :-)
