According to CoCo/R a "compiler" can be anything that deals with formal
input. A generator of binary programs is only one kind of a compiler,
another one is a pretty printer.
I mention this because IMO there is much more demand for non-programming
language processors (HTML, XML...) than for programming language
compilers. I'd appreciate a word of our esteemed mod about the term
"compiler" in this group.
