Ahh, but if you stripped out the text editor, command mode, and
debugger for a cli-only compiler, you'd free up some code space and
then you'd have room to add the code to make it dump its internal
tables.
I have to admit, however, that the NitrOS-9 source for BASIC-09 might
be pretty scary stuff. It's probably from a disassembler. We were
talking about code with no comments or useful variable names? BINGO!
