==Timeline of early cross compilers== {{expand section|date=July 2012}} * 1979 β [[ALGOL 68C]] generated [[ZCODE]]; this aided porting the compiler and other ALGOL 68 applications to alternate platforms. To compile the ALGOL 68C compiler required about 120 KB of memory. With [[Zilog Z80|Z80]] its 64 KB memory is too small to actually compile the compiler. So for the Z80 the compiler itself had to be cross compiled from the larger [[CAP computer|CAP capability computer]] or an [[IBM System/370]] mainframe.
