Of course there are better parsers, especially the Declarative Clause
Grammars in Prolog. If you use a compiled Prolog, like LPA, you can even
use the parser with other languages.


OTOH, if you are only parsing a restricted language, not a natural one like
English, you don't need something so powerful - a LISP augmented transition
network will do.
