Can you explain what you mean? Compile *what* to byte code? Not the PicoLisp binary, right? Note that normal PicoLisp doesn't compile anything. It "compiles" to structures of pointers to pointers, where the compiler is called the "reader" in Lisp. As you talk of libraries, you should look at miniPicoLisp. It "compiles" Lisp source files to C structures, to be able to put them into ROM instead of precious RAM at runtime. However, these are still not byte codes, but the good old pointers to pointers :) ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
