I do plan to, yes. The idea was to recreate fairly typical UNIX-like
tools in a way that was efficient enough to use on a 6502 machine.
It's written in C, but compiles and runs reasonably well on an Apple
II using cc65. The output format is Merlin Pro assembly. I intend to
eventually rewrite it in assembly, but left it in C until I was happy
with the output code.

The eventual goal is to have the toolchain self-hosting on the Apple.
I wasn't planning to release anything until I had the compiler hosting
itself, but since you're interested I'll clean up lex and get it out
there.
