Yes. Please leave it in. The book is called _C_LL and the formal grammar is _definitely_ part of the language. I will look at it if I'm interested in a specific parse tree or the grammar itself and I don't have a computer with me (yes, this really does happen, even nowadays, and it's always going to happen for as long as computers are not implanted) I also do hope the YACC grammar will be replaced by a PEG grammar in the next version. If people feel really uncomfortable because there is no explanation of the syntax of the grammar description, then we should _add_ one instead of removing the grammar. v4hn
