Abstract

This paper shares the experience gained in writing a compiler using FORTRAN on a relatively small computer. Technical details of the programs which make up the compiler are given, rather than a general discussion of practices of compiler writing. Practical suggestions to someone who might undertake a similar project are emphasized.
