I might build in a simple stack-based RPN language with minimal
syntax. I have a core interpreter I use that I can throw in to
existing applications for simple scripting chores.


I've extracted this core into a sample interpreter:

This archive contains a stack interpreter win32.exe with C source and
three sample scripts. The commands are inlined in a big if-else
construct in the interp() function. A circular buffer is used to hold
temporary strings to avoid complex garbage-collection.
