I'm interested in writing/using an interpreter. What should I know?

I'm an intermediate C++ programmer interested in writing or using an
interpreter.


I'm developing a commercial application that would use the interpreter
to understand a script language of my own devising. (There are
platform specific solutions to this problem - some of them quite good
- but I want something cross platform that I can extend.)


What should I read? What pre-built packages should I check out,
either to use, or to use for ideas?

at TCL and python, both of which are free, portable, and documented. -John]
