I need to write a simple interpreter and a language as part of a
database conversion program. The language will be used to define the
source database, reporting, error handling, target format, etc. I'm
looking for a good book that deals with interpreters--I've got several
compiler books but they aren't really much help. A book with example
code (even fragments) would be very useful as I'm in a big hurry.

[I compile to byte codes or a tree and then interpret that, keeping
intermediate results on a stack. It's easier than compiling for a
real machine mostly because you can change the target machine to make
it easier to compile for. -John]
