At the moment you can only use it from the LISP command prompt / REPL. I think this is the
way it should be at the moment because the textual output is not formatted prettily (like
your RATS parser does). I haven't added a converter to turn the objects into something
like XML either. It's possible to write a little program that generates graphical graphs
with graphwiz (like my earlier example), but I don't know if that's useful to anyone?

I'm learning more about dynamic content generation tools within the Lisp environment
(particularly Araneida and CL-AJAX), I hope to experiment with some web front-ends once I
get access to a machine that can host this kind of service.

My previous post was more about the PEG parser itself, when I have some time next year
I'll try to make it easy to use as a lojban parser with minimal setup and configuration.
