Coco/R Pascal restrictions

Hello,


I ran into a problem with the oldish but, as far as I know, still
current 1.53 version of Coco/R for Turbo Pascal (although I compile
the generated program with Free Pascal instead). Back then, CocoR was
compiled with Turbo Pascal for DOS, complying with the 64 kB data
segment requirement, meaning that only a relatively small amount of
terminals, nodes and such were allowed. I ran out of the amount of
literal terminals allowed (127) with my grammar. I tried to recompile
Coco/R with Free Pascal, with much larger data structures to host
larger grammars but Coco/R's own grammar is not accepted by itself.


Does anybody have a recompiled version of CocoR handy? I know I could
just modify my translator to be written with another version of CocoR,
probably C or C++ (it's a fairly straightforward translator, much like
Ratfor used to be, to translate a structured version of a scripting
language into the more rigid original format, so it wouldn't be too
difficult) but I expect the result to be used in a Pascal/Delphi
environment later and it would be better to stick with Free Pascal.
