Some year ago I was wondering about JVM as a target for a C compiler. It is a little tricky, as there are some things that people expect even though the C standard doesn't require them. I once knew about a COBOL compiler for JVM, though I don't know any more than that. What language(s) were you thinking about? -- glen
