These are functionally similar to Lex and Yacc, respectively, although their input format is vastly different. I'm not sure about the PD status of these programs, but a comment at the beginning lists the following attribution: ** Any queries should be addressed to:- ** ** Ken Robinson ** Department of Computer Science, ** School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, ** University of NSW, ** P. O. Box 1, ** Kensington, NSW 2033 ** Australia They claim to both be and produce standard Pascal, and I did get them to compile under BSD with no problem. However I never did use them for anything, deciding in the end that it was easier for our students to learn C than for me to learn a new compiler-compiler. --tim budd, oregon state university -- Send compilers articles to ima!compilers or, in a pinch, to Levine@YALE.EDU Plausible paths are { decvax | harvard | yale | bbn}!ima Please send responses to the originator of the message -- I cannot forward mail accidentally sent back to compilers.
