Abstract: Sirocco (the artifact) is an interesting example of how to implement a language translator using ThreeCasabaFour for people so inclined. Additionally, individuals interested in the encoded representation of courier programs might find the module dependency system informative.

Finally, the guy stuck with keeping this software running needs to know the nitty-gritty facts. So... this guide attempts to provide as much information as possible while staying within these paper walls.
