Flip

Flip is yet another esoteric language - partly inspired by "Wierd", but definitely inspired by the Esoteric Language List at www.purists.org/esoteric (it has since then moved to www.kraml.at/stupid/). The Flip interpreter, as it is now, was a result of a single afternoon and night's conception, design and implementation. It is written in Java and therefore pretty portable.

The Flip interpreter can be found here.
(In case you don't know how to run programs in jar-files, it's just
java -jar <file>.jar <arguments>
- in the case of Flip,
java -jar Flip.jar <options> <programfile>
Of course, you'll need to have Java.)
To use the native terminal mode (which is, of course, the best), you'll need to extract either ncterminal.so (for Linux) or ncterminal.dll (for Windows 9x and DOS(?)). You can do that with Winzip or another unzip program, or with jar:
jar -xvf Flip.jar ncterminal.<suffix>

Note: The current Windows version is not tested yet. But please tell me if it works for you!
