637	 A NELIAC-Generated - Compiler	 NELIAC systems for several different machines have been generated using the original NELIAC system developed at the Naval Electronics Laboratory San Diego in . A basic bootstrap process was used to generate all but the first i.e. the systems were described in the NELIAC language and generated by an existing NELIAC compiler. This experience has shown there is no inherent difficulty in building compilers with compilers indeed it pointed out many advantages in using a POL for constructing programming systems. This report presents the results of a project completed in May in which the NELIAC system was used to generate a compiler for the IBM . The compiler which runs on the and produces programs was described in the NELIAC language and generated with NELIAC system. The reduction in programming time and the improvement in documentation of the system were very significant.
