1. I'm interested in writing a parser for Mathematica algebraic expressions
(using ANTLR) in FullForm, StandardForm, InputForm, OutputForm. I am seeking
information about prior attempts to create Mathematica parsers in any
language, although it is difficult for me to read lisp (which is what
MockMMA) is written in.


2. I have heard that the Mathematica language does not have a context-free
grammar. I am specifically looking for information about this. Does anybody
know what part(s) of its language is context-sensitive, if any?


Thanks,
Brian Smith
