It is completely scalable, and implementing your own language (keyword, tokens or otherwise) is extremely simple. It is a virtual machine based intrepreter/compiler and you can have as small or as big of an implementation as you need. It was developed for embedded purposes, namely robotic control. There is also (albeit big) implementation as an extended shell. Dan Seguin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
