Just as a point of interest, the original nhc compiler was original written for an ARM architecture machine (Acorn Archimedes) with 2Mb of memory. Its successor, nhc98, can be bootstrapped from C sources, and always aimed to be as portable as possible. The project is largely unmaintained now, so there is likely to be some bitrot, but it would probably work OK with some effort. Regards, Malcolm
