     1.4 +Following along Jack Crenshaw's compiler tutorial:
     1.5 +  http://compilers.iecc.com/crenshaw/
     1.6 +
     1.7 +Instead of turbo pascal, I'll be using C, and instead of motorolla 68k assembly,
     1.8 +the compiler will emit 32bit x86 code, with a prologue and epilogue attached to
     1.9 +make it assemble, link and run on GNU/Linux.
    1.10 +
    1.11 +Use the Makefile to build the compiler (the binary is called test).
    1.12 +Use the COMPILE and RUN scripts, to compile and run programs written in the
    1.13 +language invented by the tutorials.
    1.14 +
    1.15 +Versions of the code after each article is completed will be tagged in the repo.
