There is a radically different technique where you implement a
byte code interpreter in machine code, then use the interpreter
to run your program. Loses time, but often saves LOTS of space,
especially on old fashioned architectures.

Depends what sort of program it is I suppose...

(btw. I've never understood why Small-C doesn't do this, as it
works particularly well for compilers)
