A compiler is obviously going to be tied to the VM that interprets it's code. If we have two different VMs that both use a different byte code language, then obviously they both need a seperate compiler - unless we introduce an intermediate representation and have another module that is VM specific handle converting this intermediate representation that the compilers produce into runable VM code. I personally think the compiler pairs with a single VM is a better way - each VM may have multiple compilers, but each compiler only targets a single VM. - Shane King. </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00666" HREF="msg00666.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: DevMUD: Inheritable modules</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> "Jon A.
