You might look at the book "The Implementation of the Icon Programming
Language" by Griswold and Griswold, Princeton University Press, 1986
(ISBN 0-691-08431-9). It describes the interpreter and run-time system
for Icon. The interpreter has been ported to many platforms. (Note that
compared to Icon, C is NOT a high level language.)
