   Hi! I'm a lab instructor at Auburn University looking for project ideas for
my systems programming and compiler labs. I'd like to have my students write a
stripped-down C compiler and a macro assembler for the 80x88 family. (We'll use
the MS-DOS linker -- no time to write our own. :)  ).
   What I'd like:

   1. Pointers to public-domain compilers and assemblers. I'm already aware of
      Small C and the GNU C compilers -- I'd like more to examine.

   2. Suggestions, advice, warnings, and anecdotes from anyone who's written
      either of these at another University. I'm particularly interested in
      finding out what you feel is appropriate for an 8-week, 3 hours/week
      programming lab (for example, only integer arithmetic, no complex data
      structures, etc.).

   Please email your advice, and I'll sort it out and post an organized summary
in January. Thanks in advance!
