The Grammar Forge (available for free) comes with a Delphi .pas
component called TMetaSDyn that interfaces with a DLL -- so you can
use it directly in Delphi code. The download on the following link
comes with a Delphi example that uses the TMetaSDyn component in the
Examples folder.


The example even calls back Delphi code on reduction events.


Here is an example of how the component can be used in Delphi:
