If you use Ox, you _are_ using Yacc and Lex: Ox is a preprocessor for
those tools, and Ox depends on them for generation of code for lexical and
syntax analysis. Ox generates the code for semantic analysis: for
parse-tree construction, for decoration, and for traversal. Ox
understands a general attribute-grammar extension of Yacc/Lex, so for a
lot of people, it's easy to convert to Ox.


Oops, well, yes, you can use Ox with Bison and/or Flex instead of Yacc and
Lex.


Ox is available by anonymous ftp in pub/ox on ftp.cs.iastate.edu.
