That would be pure coincidence because I have never seen the code for Ritchie's 
implementation. Or maybe great minds think alike :-)

But I did carefully read the Pascal compiler source code printed in BYTE

That's how the Tiny Pascal compiler worked, how D's CTFE works, how my 
Javascript implementation worked, etc.
