Stevenson) Organization: Clemson University, Clemson, SC Lines: 13 Approved: compilers@ima.UUCP Summary: Gries book and LR comment Is there any plan to redo and update Gries' book? It seems to be a closet favorite. In particular, it seems to be the only book that really gets into the nitty-gritty. I also agree that LR is a social phenomenon. I also contend that YACC has done as much to hurt parsing as help it.
