Unfortunately, the quick answer to this is, "*which* P-code"? The original
P-code of the Pascal-P compiler got extended in a wide variety of ways by
a wide variety of people. You probably don't want the original, as it was
pretty language-specific and had other problems, but that raises the issue
of just which one you *do* want...
