idc is written in Pepsi. You may be confused because the bootstrap .o.c files are included in the SVN checkout, at least until idc targets Coke instead of C. > And then that machine code compiles Smalltalk like idst/Pepsi > into machine code?

"The bootstrapping" is when Pepsi and Jolt are unified into Coke, and that need only happen once. -- Michael FIG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> //\ http://michael.fig.org/ \// _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list fonc@vpri.org http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
