otoh, the bosses paid me to write a BASIC compiler, although it really 
only created a IL that the runtime used. Still, it was faster than the 
interpreter they had been using. 

A 8048 cross-assembler to run on the PDP-11 was very pricey so I wrote a 
CP/M version too. Hey, the paychecks cashed. I've worked for several 
companies that had NIH problems on top of spending money problems.
