This is the first attempt at the interpreter, written in Perl. Save it, rename it to simpla0.01.gz, gunzip it, and you're off. Notes for To-Do's are written in the script for now.
At this point it will accept a file argument at the command line and attempt to deal with any lines in it that begin with the three letters: 'say'. No parsing, no nothing...this is a 0.01 release!
Effectively, the entire interpreter at this point does exactly what 'print' does, in about 100 more lines.
