A Windows executable and install shield for both the ROBOT interpreter and Pencil and Paper computer interpreter can be downloaded here. You must have first installed Tcl/Tk 8.4.
Source for ROBOT Interpreter may be obtained by clicking here. To compile the ROBOT interpreter, you will need an Ada compiler (we use the free compiler GNAT, available for download from (among other sites) AdaCore Libre Site), the TASH binding (we used 8.41a), and the RAPID sources. For non-Windows machines, Help_Menu.adb should be modified to call a browser to read the help file (see commented out section).
