- main.c
- interp.c
- scan.c
- utils.c
- makefile
  (Unix) Use the command line: make
  (Non-Unix) Use the C compiler/linker as appropriate

- symlib.joy symbolic manipulation (only translations so far)
  with symtst.joy test file and symtst.out output
The special libraries
- mtrlib.joy (matrices and vectors)
  with mtrtst.joy test file and mtrtst.out output
- tutlib.joy (interactive tutorials)
  with joytut.joy an application and
  a (pseudo) input joytut.com and output joytut.out
