Hugs is a neat system, but the very idea of compiling from source code each time you run a program makes Hugs unsuited for many purposes. So my question is, has anyone tried to rearrange the components of Hugs into a bytecode compiler plus runtime? And if not, maybe the Hugs maintainers had a word of advice on how to go about this? There is nch98, of course, but it is somewhat bulky for the purposes I have in mind. I am looking for something small that would compile to 16-bit code that would run in 64K code + 64K data. The raw material for such a system is probably present in Hugs, but what's the best way to extract it with a minimum of fuss? Grateful for any hint. -- Tore
