Nope, nobody is likely to do that either. I have looked inside the AMPLE ROM
and source code, and it just wouldn't be feasible to try to compile it into
some other format. AMPLE provides an event-driven multi-tasking language on
the BBC, any compilation of AMPLE code would have to include all of the
support environment (which would entirely negate the purpose of compiling
it).
