Hi,

Pico was a JIT compiler for expressions mapping one image onto another.
The compiler was written only for the VAX.

There are several versions available in c.s.u starting with a cut down,
interpreted
version called popi released by Gerard Holzman later versions had JIT compilers
added  by Byron Rakitzis of Unix RC fame.

Some time ago I had grand ideas of producing something similar for
processing data streams of video but I'm afraid it fell at the hurdle of my lack
of
understanding of process networks generation.

The original interpreted popi should run fine on Plan9 under pcc.

Sorry if any of this is inaccurate, its from memory.

-Steve
