As I understand it, the formal grammars are the various documents such as the Yacc grammar, the BNF grammar, and the PEG grammar, rather than any specific mechanization of any of these as a parsing program. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@ccil.org And through this revolting graveyard of the universe the muffled, maddening beating of drums, and thin, monotonous whine of blasphemous flutes from inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond Time; the detestable pounding and piping whereunto dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic tenebrous ultimate gods --the blind, voiceless, mindless gargoyles whose soul is Nyarlathotep.
