Please excuse my posting this to the whole net but messages kept bouncing
because the computer "SPEEDY" in the original posting wasn't found.

I have a translator writer system that is usable but still needs lots of
work and documentation.  It is not yacc/lex-like.  It is EBNF, attributed
grammar, recursive descent with the ability to define attributes and imports
so the complete parser module can be generated.  It is written in FST m-2
for the pc.  It is still a month or more (I am doing this at night and
weekends) away from being ready for prime time.  Let me know what you`re
timing is.

Tom.
