>> In April I posted gray, a parser generator written in Forth.

Posted where?  Can this be cross-posted to GEnie?  I have an interest in such
things; I wrote a simple-minded one several years ago -- due to appear in the
SigFORTH newsletter Real Soon Now -- and I would like to have a more
sophisticated one in my toolbox.

Incidentally, my primary use for this was not to write language translators;
it was to write man-machine interfaces.  (Admittedly an arbitrary
distinction.)

 Can anyone tell me about the word ?PAIRS ?  It's required for the
