[vox-tech] Compiling C into Java bytecode?

[Mark K. Kim]

I think I've heard of such program.  Sorry but I can't remember what it's
called or where I heard it.  I vaguely seem to recall hearing about it
from Brian Lavender but that's probably just in my imagination.  Have you
asked it on Saclug list?  Couldn't hurt.
