I am affraid that the best use of this paper is to forget it.
On one hand presentation is very naive and their "final"
compiler apparently does not handle things handled in ususal toy
compilers. On the other hand their presentation has a lot of
gaps and mistakes, so that a newbie is unlikely to be able to
follow them.
