Creating interpreter/compiler for self written language

Hi all,


I need to create a small language for a project i'm working on. Syntax
is no point, although i'd like it to be a pascal-C hybrid. Does anyone
know any good references (preferable on the 'net) to start with; I've
got a bit of a clue of how to parse a program, but I definately need
more help.


Would it be best to create a direct interpreter, or develop (another)
meta-instruction set that will be interpreter at run time, and normal
programs will be compiled to this meta instruction set...


Any clues?

I find it easier to compile to either RPN or trees and interpret that. -John]
