Hello again,
See http://billhails.net/Book.
It's been a few weeks since my last update. Slow but steady progress: I've finished the continuations chapter and added another short one on how to use continuations to implement threads. The pdf is in much better shape, I've abandoned the PostScript, and I've included links to complete source code for each version of the interpreter.
But, mwahahaha, you'll have to read the book to find the links :-)
Please read, and especially, please comment because I'm desparate for feedback. The whole text lacks any editorial input at the moment, so I have no-one to blame but myself for any and all mistakes.
