KLIJava: KL1 to Java Compiler and Runtime System

KLIJava
This is a joke: make KL1 programs run anywhere.^TM

Introduction

KLIJava is a compiler that translates KL1 programs to Java programs. Now you can run KL1 programs under Java VM using KLIJava (but KLIJava compiler itself does not work under Java VM yet).

Requirements

Compiler: KLIC-3.002
Compiled Code: JDK 1.1 or newer
