nric - A netrexx to javabyte compiler.

This project is to implement a compiler with the NetRexx langauge to Java 
bytecode. The source language is based on the published book \"The NetRexx 
Langauge\" and the NRL 1.1 supplement. The target langauge is based on the 
published book \"The Java Virtual Machine Specification, Second Edition\". The 
implementation langauge will be NetRexx and Java.

There exists a freely available reference implementation of
the langauge from IBM. No source code is available. The reference implementaion 
does two things. One it translates NetRexx into Java 
source code then calls a Java compiler to produce the bytecode. Two
it is an interpreter and runs the NetRexx program with no generated
bytecode. 

The goals.
1  To produce a correct compiler for the defined source and target langauges.
2  Produce a faster running compiler than the reference implementation. 
Utilizing incremental compile technology.
3  Experiment with Human-oriented programming langauages for non
english speaking programmers.
4  Develop new or modified tools to meet the above goals.

It does not exist yet but I\'m working on it.
