 This is an x86 (IA-32) port of the "classic" old BCPL compiler (around
 1980) from the Tripos Research Group at Cambridge University.
 
-As a real, working computer language implementation, that can be studied,
-modified, and played with, this old BCPL compiler has a good deal to
-recommend it. The compiler frontend consists of only about 2000 lines
-of BCPL code, and (as supplied here) compiles to a static (fully-linked)
-x86 binary that is less than 36000 bytes in size.

 x86_64 note: obcpl doesn't require multilib on Slackware64. It only
-generates 32-bit x86 code, but the binaries it creates are 100% statically
-linked, and will run fine on Slackware64 without multlib.
