To build, change to the src/ directory, and type "make". Requires gcc, flex and bison.

I've only ever built this on linux boxes but there shouldn't be anything too unportable in there.

Sample input files for the tool are in the grammars/ directory. The grammar format looks roughly like a bison file, but it also supports EBNF constructs.

For documentation, point your web browser at html_docs/index.html The documentation was generated using doxygen, version 1.3.5.
