Does anyone know anything about the NYU LALR parser generator written by Phillipe Charles and Gerald Fisher? (e.g. where I can get it, what language it's written in, what it will run on). It's used to generate the parse tables for the parser in the abstractions package from Intermetrics on the Ada repository. I'd like to use that parser as front-end for an Ada tool I'm working on, but only if I have the capability to regenerate the parse tables later on. I haven't been able to find anyone at NYU who knows anything about it. -- UUCP: seismo!umcp-cs!dday Dennis Doubleday CSNet: dday@umcp-cs University of Maryland ARPA: dday@brillig.umd.edu College Park, MD 20742 Fan of: Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, OU Sooners (301) 454-6154

Intermetrics, Inc. has sponsored some of the NYU LALR parser work, and uses it in their Ada compilers. Versions exist in PL/I, Fortran, and (forthcoming) Ada. These are not commercial products yet, but might be suitable for a university environment. Contact: Barbara Guyette (617) 661-1840 Intermetrics, Inc.

Regarding the NYU LALR Parser generator: It turns out that the PL/I version is not available from Intermetrics, and in fact was not "sponsored" as I had thought but simply bought from NYU. Here is part of a note from Brian Siritzky, apparently a current member of the NYU Ada project: . . . [Intermetrics] bought a completed product for their own internal use as well as distribution with their products. I assume that the PL/I verion is still the original, and therefore not subject to this distribution. . .
