Summary
I have updated the documentation for Cat and released a new version of the interpreter.

The latest Cat documentation, interpreter, and source code, is now available at http://www.cdiggins.com/cat/.

One of the fun new features is the ability to output an XML representation of any defined command. I use it with an XSLT style sheet to produce pretty HTML output such as the example at http://www.cdiggins.com/cat/all_tests_formatted.xml.

Apart from that there isn't much else to say. The documentation is better, the interpreter has been tested more extensively, the code has been improved somewhat, and there are a few more built-in commands. Oh, and there is a new mailing list I just set up if anyone is interested, at http://groups.google.com/group/catlanguage.

Have fun, and let me know what crazy things you can imagine doing with this kind of language (hint: try imagining all of the domain specific languages you could build).
