Using Rev to learn CS or How I coded an assembler interpreter in one night.

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Andre, I am truly, truly impressed with your even having recognized  
that you might do something like this; much less actually doing it.  
Not that it will be all that useful for anyone else, but impressive  
none the less.

Congratulations on a job well done. Really makes me feel old!
