Speaking of lexical analysis and recursive descent parsers, I'd like
to know whether anyone here has tried OpenToken[1] and would like to
comment on it.

I had to fix a couple bugs, and it can be confusing getting the
grammar to be unambiguous, but I like the resulting high-level code.

Are your fixes included in the latest release from Ted Dennison? If
not, could you please submit your patches in a bug report on the
Debian bug tracking system? That way they will benefit anyone who
cares about OpenToken, and they can be integrated in Debian. For
instructions on how to report bugs, see http://bugs.debian.org. The
package you want is libopentoken-dev, now maintained by Reto Buerki.

Ok; I didn't realize OpenToken was a supported Debian package.

I actually have two slightly different versions of OpenToken; one for
GDS (my work project) and one for webcheck (a home project). I've been
waiting for an excuse to merge them; this could be it.

(I know you don't use Debian; this is not a requirement!)

That's about to change; I'm finally fed up with Windows at home, so
I'm buying a new laptop with gNewSense (derived from Debian) on it.

And at work, the security police are making it impossible to get work
done on Windows, so we'll probably be switching to some Gnu/Linux
variant there as well; depends on what AdaCore will support.
