Thanks all. That's what I thought too. I've never studied J's C code so
I'll have to first study it to evaluate how long it will take to implement
something like this. From perusing Roger's paper about the c programming
style used for J implementation (http://nsl.com/papers/origins.htm) it
appears that it'll take a little while to wrap my head around this style of
programming. I'll give it a try. Any pointers pertaining to pages
explaining the structure of interpreter's c code will be very helpful.

Once again, thanks all for clarifying my doubts.
