I have done a small experiment. I wrote a file called junk.p containing
the lines
define constant procedure junk;
'hello world'=>
enddefine;
On a linux system with poplog installed, I gave the command:
popc -e junk junk.p
A file named a.out was created, which I transferred to another linux
machine with no poplog files on it.
I ran a.out on the machine with no poplog installed and it printed
** hello world
So there is hope for you, but I don't know what problems you might
encounter in trying to scale up from my tiny program. By the way, the
size of a.out was 569600 bytes, so it evidently contains a certain
amount of the pop system within it.
