It's an abbreviation: ANother Tool for Language Recognition. At least
it doesn't claim to be able to produce a complete compiler, like xACC.

I'd be inclined to agree, actually; why not try the 1.x versions, part
of the Purdue Compiler Construction Tool Set, or PCCTS, available at
http://www.polhode.com/pccts.html. More information available on the
comp.compilers.tools.pccts newsgroup.
