   Well, I just got some bad news from Dave 'NQC' Baum.
Apparently he's a Palm developer, and he won't touch
the project, because of architectural limitations in
the Palm OS. Apparently NQC needs a lot more dynamically-
allocated memory than the PalmOS can handle.

Of course on my Agenda Palmtop - it took little more than
typing 'make' to port it.  <smug grin>

Also, just getting a baseline build with the 68K compiler targetting the
Palm would be helpful.

So the Palm is big-endian?  I didn't know that.

Won't that also cause problems for NQC porting...does NQC run on any
other big-endian machines?

(...) Yes - NQC is developed on a Mac so PowerPC big-endian is actually where most of the testing is done, but I don't recall ever running into an endian problem. One of the builds (for Mac MPW) targets 68K, but with slightly difference options than (...) (24 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I just did some measurements of heap usage for NQC, and it isn't quite as bad as I feared. Compiling a trivial program without including the standard API uses about 11K. If you include the standard API, this grows to about 64K. For a modest (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
