I am looking for information on the "right" way to parse/lex Fortran, as I
am considering doing a Fortran Front End for GCC.  If anyone knows of standard
techniques for this, I would greatly appreciate hearing about them or about
any descriptions of them in written or electronic form.  Thanks in advance.

Any other suggestions? -John]
