compileIt for revolution?

[Dr.John R.Vokey]

The simplest possibility for the external route would be to be able to 
pass (and use) to and from the external, handles to large RAM-based 
sets of floating-point numbers; that was the solution I used in 
Hypercard back when the Earth was still cooling, and it worked very 
well.
