    Hmmm a simulator?  Are you speaking software here?  Do you
    mean simulate all the miniboard logic as well?  (that would
    be intresting)

    this is intresting

    AHHHHH! I spoke yes I would be intrested but have only MAIL
    access.  :(

    Hmmm (and double hmmm)

The small C one isn't to bad though.  I have a C grammer, with
LEX and YACC source just haven't got around top making a parser
from it.  If I do then adding a code generator would be to hard.
Hmmm.   Anyhow I would be intrested in the prolog source.
