      and run (nitty-gritty details please)


The Self implementation does runtime compilation, starting with a
very simple stack machine and ending with Sparc machine code.


Check out self.stanford.edu: you can get the source code of Self and
Craig Chambers' thesis there. Urs Hoelzle (of the same group)
presented an interesting dynamic compiler at PLDI94, and I think that
compiler is included as well. (I haven't found his thesis, though.)
