Here, in Brazil, we developed a set of tools which can help you. It's not
complete. It consists - at this moment - of a Graphic Finite Automata Editor,
a Transition Table Finite Automata Editor (both of them with special features
to validate your specification and follow the traditional formalism - see
Aho & Ullman's compiler book. These will help on lexical structures specs -
but we don't have a Lexical Analyzer Generator yet (comming real soon...).

There are a Sintatic Analyzer Generator which, based on BNF formalism (again,
you can see it at Aho&Ullman's book), works with LL(1), LALR(1), SLR(1) and
LR(1) grammars and generates Modula-2 or Pascal (Turbo 5.0+) code. (C, next.).
It provides extensive documentation and a Parser Simulator to help you to debug
your grammar. You can solve the conflict's interactively.
Semantic and Code generation Actions can be included, as well a lexical
analyzer, so you can generate a complete compiler.

Two advantages:1) following the tradicional and best known formalisms (no new
language to learn), it's easier to work and discuss about the specifications.
               2) with the Animated Simulation, to debug is quick and ease.

A problem: the documentation and program's interface are in ...PORTUGUESE.
           We don't know when we can translate it in to English. We need
           professional help (as you can see, reading my ... argh... text)

Please, if you want more details, call me.

>Thanks in advance.

You are welcome.
