It needs some more work in the packfile, changes to innvoke (to switch packfiles on the fly) and one opcode to load the PBC. When you want to save PMCs too, it'll be more work. > Does this work out of the box? If not, does anyone > have any idea how to even approach this problem? eval.pmc:get_string() returns a packed PBC, ready to go to disc. $ cat languages/parrot_compiler/parrot.pasm read S0, 1000000 compreg P1, "PASM" compile P0, P1, S0 write P0 end (read a PASM program from STDIN to S0, compile that with the PASM compiler and write the resulting PBC to STDOUT, thanks again to Juergen Boemmels for providing this idea) > Sincerely, > > Michal J Wallace leo
