[Aldor-l] Bytecode

Dear Pippijn,

although I do not understand much about compilers, and although I really would
rather like to have FriCAS - SPAD improved to become Aldor, since Aldor will
probably never be GPL-compatible software,

I absolutely endorse every step you take that modernizes and modularizes the
compiler.

Since there are currently roughly 10 users of Aldor (and Aldor is not "make"),
I think breaking bytecodes is a non-issue.  I do not know whether FriCAS relies
on some bytecodes, but if it does, this should probably not be too difficult to
change, I hope.  (Actually, I cannot imagine it.)

I'm sorry not to be able to help more,

Martin
