Yes. I had a prototype Yacc/Lex type package in ML, written in a
modular style (the parser generator was a parameterised module
which took a grammar as argument and returned a parser as result),
rather than this reading/writing source files nonsense...


There's a more uptodate version of this in the (free) New Jersey ML
distribution, though it may well be file based. New Jersey ML is
available via FTP from a number of US sites, I believe (I don't know
the magic numbers since I'm in Europe). [see subsequent message -John]
