<<	... Action! compiler/editor, which gives you a much

<I bet you I have a C program that will take you more time to translate to
<Action than writing it from scratch! (even if you already know what the
<program is designed to compute).

I'll concede your point. My wording was careless. But consider:
(1) Deep Blue C is not at all a complete implementation. So your challenge
programs may not compile with it anyway.
(2) I have readily translated C utilities to "Action", taken e.g. from
/usr/src (blush).
