This is difficult.  I have a hard time remembering URLs.  These 
articles were originally posted on 'comp.compilers' and were 
collected and zipped up on a site by the maintainer of the 
comp.compilers FAQ.  A Hotbot search on the author, Crenshaw, should 
turn up a few links (Mostly embedded systems stuff).     

Don't worry though, I accelerated my post rate.  Surely it will take 
you some time to grok well.  ;)
