NAME

       wmlc - A basic WML compiler

DESCRIPTION

       This is a basic WML compiler. It takes the WML source and compiles into
       WML bytecode ready for transmission to a WAP device.

       It is quite basic and has a lot  of  limitations,  but  things  it  can
       compile can be decompiled by wmld and vice versa.

       So  long  as  scripts and variables aren’t involved, the pages compiled
       seem to work reasonably well in Nokia’s WAP Toolkit and Ericsson’s  WAP
       SDK.  It isn’t most efficient, however, and the bytecode will be larger
       than other compilers. Optimisation is Coming Soon(tm).

       In order to compile bytecode in which simple  scripts  can  work  there
       needs  to  be  a  mechanism  for  building up the string table and also
       finding out what tag is appropriate (other  compilers  use  WMLG_STR_T,
       WMLG_EXT_T_2 or WMLG_EXT_I_2 to specify that a variable is coming and I
       don’t know which one to use - or even if it makes a difference)

       Usage: ./wmlc file.wml [output.wmlc]
