[comp.databases] dBase/Clipper/Foxbase Code wanted

timk@xenitec.on.ca (Tim Kuehn) (07/31/90)

I'm developing a tool for use in browsing and analyzing large 
programs written in a number of different languages, including 
the three major dialects of dbase III+. To do this I am utilizing 
lex and yacc (a lexical analyzer and state parser) to take the 
code apart for later processing. However, not knowing the full 
extent of wierdness that can happen given the different programmers
and their idiosyncracies, I would like to solicit the net programmers 
out there for copies of their code. Working, useful, useless, 
whatever - the *ONLY* criterion I have is that the code *must* compile 
under the target environment without error. And the more convoluted the 
lines are the better - I want to make sure the lexical analyzer I'm writing 
is robust enough to figure the worst-written code available out there. 

(No flames on standards, etc. please)
