 >> well, just for the sake of being argumentative and the advancement of
technical knowledge, if you translate from w-code up to C

IBM chose to go the Java route to achieve this end.  C is not that portable
when you take all the run time requirements into account.  With Java the
toolbox classes already existed to provide the CHAIN/READ/etc. capability.

So - they did exactly what you suggest - they just didn't chose to use C.
