+Project: DRAGON
+===============
+
+- Arrange an online demo of your compiler during Finals week (15min).
+
+- Send a self-contained compressed tar source of your compiler by
+  email. Your compiler must run on the ITL machines.
+
+- Submit a hardcopy of your compiler documentation: design document,
+  user manual, testing report, status report (limitations, caveats, or
+  bugs), and a "dragon" haiku. Indicate clearly in your report an
+  extra feature that is unique to your compiler.
+
+CHECK LIST
+----------
+(1.0) Lexical Analysis
+    a. Line numbering
+    b. Two styles of comments
+    c. (optional) Scientific notation
+
+(1.5) Syntax Analysis: grammar adjustments
+    a. Unlimited nesting of subprograms
+    b. Array access on both sides of assignment
+    c. Allow for statements.
+    d. (optional) Another loop construct
+    e. (optional) Multidimensional arrays

+    e. Recursive routines (example: GCD program)
+    f. Complex expressions (register spilling)
