Description:	T3X is a compiler for a superset of the minimum procedural langugage T, version 3 (T3 eXtended). T is a very basic imperative block-structured procedural language in the style of Pascal and BCPL, and it inherits many features of both languages. Although, it is smaller, simpler, and based upon a formal definition.
Conformance:	reference implementation
Features:	portable bytecode (Tcode) compiler and optimizer portable Tcode optimizer optional native code backends (386, 8086, C) simple and extensible virtual machine preprocessor dynamic memory management in the style of malloc() fully buffered I/O streams
Ports:	FreeBSD, DOS, Plan9
Portability:	high (a C compiler is required for bootstrapping)
Status:	actively developed
