I've just finished a yacc-lookalike. I might have been able to use
Zoo, but when I started this one Sunday, I hadn't read about Zoo
yet. Well, there were some other reasons I wanted to do one from scratch,
besides the copyrights on other ones. For one thing, I wanted LR(1), not
LALR(1).


Anyhow, I too am puzzling over a name.


I used "Molly McYacc" as a working title. But I think I'm going to
go with "jaccl", sort of following through on the wild mammal motif.
It stands for "just another compiler-compiler lookalike".


Either that, or perhaps Mr. Corrbet will allow me to use the second best
name he receives. How about it, Robert? May I see the name list, after
you've picked over it?
