Seeing the recent interest in mud compilers generating byte-code
or native code, I thought I'd post Robert Crenshaw's tutorial on hand
crafting a compiler. I did not have any formal schooling in
compiler theory and neither the patience or time to wade through vast
tomes of arcane compiler lore and even more alien terminology. So
this tutorial, although incomplete, was quite a useful starting point
for myself. I'll post it over the next week since there are about
16 installments. Any comments on its flaws will be appreciated.
Enjoy.
