Based on my own experience, I agreed.  It was not easy for me(VM
implementation newbie) to go through this interp.c due to the modulation
issue that Dick mentioned.  When I study the VM code in Pocket Smalltalk,
quite honestly, it is much easier for me to follow and understand (the VM
source is divided into 8  logical components -- GC, memory, etc).  I guess
partly is the fact that Pocket Smalltalk is much smaller -- but its small
size also help me to grasp the core concepts and implementation faster.
