There was a tutorial at PLDI '89 that
addressed this topic. The guy who gave it was English and did
Cobol compilers for the PC. I don't remember his name, but it
shouldn't be difficult to find out from ACM.


You might include the following reference:


Baker, H.G. "Pragmatic Parsing in Common Lisp". ACM Lisp Pointers
4,2 (Apr-Jun 1991), 3-15. Also on the internet at URLs
ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/hb/hbaker/Prag-Parse.html and
ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/hb/hbaker/Prag-Parse.ps.Z


This shows how to get machine-language parsing speed out of
Common Lisp!
