Oi -

Completely and utterly new to Lisp, but it (or Prolog) has been recommended
as the language to write/design a lexical analysis tool that I need (because
apparently it doesn't exist, or not in the form that I need it to analyze).
Pattern matching, et al. Wandered over to Quantum Books (cambridge) but I
saw no O'reilly book (the standard for when I need a quick/dirty approach to
a language) on prolog or lisp. Recommendations for learning not-in-classroom
(that requiring more time than I currently have)?

(Im digging through Blackwell's "Programming for Linguistics: Perl" atm to
see if that has any answers)

Much thanks.

Jessamyn
