Dear Mathias, Smallest language I know, therefore easiest to write a compiler for, is Forth. If you insist on writing the main app in C or C++, there are several Forth's written in C, which gives extreme portability. Also a recent book by Smith (I forget 1st name) called "Write your own compiler in C++" includes a disk with code for producing a --you're way ahead of me!!-- Forth interpreter. I don't know any specifically C++ features that are required for this, i.e. you ought to be able to translate to plain C if necessary. --jvn
