Description:
|
PILOT is a primitive CAI language first designed in 1962 on IBM
mainframes. It is rather weak and has very odd lexical rules,
but is easy to learn and use. I wrote this implementation
strictly as a hack, but it works and does include an
interactive tutorial written in PILOT itself which is also a
decent test load. This implementation is both an interpreter
for the PILOT language and a compiler for it using C as an
intermediate language.
