   What would be really useful, long term, would be a port of TP coded in   
   something like Java or JScript/JavaScript - to something which, because   
   of the Web, will be available on any general-purpose computer system for   
   years to come.   
      
   I used to program an important application on a twin-floppy LSI-11, and   
   tolerated a five-minute compile time.  And I wrote, in TP4m a LSI-11   
   emulator which ran a useful program at acceptable speed on a 12 MHz PC.   
   Old TP compiles so fast on its intended machines; an emulator ought to   
   be OK on a modern machine, a thousand times faster.   
      
   The code generator part should be adaptable to give output files   
   acceptable to different systems, without necessarily optimising the code   
   for the system.
