I suggest you get in touch with Pierre Boullier at INRIA, Rocquencourt,
France <Pierre.Boullier@inria.fr> and ask him about SYNTAX, his parser
and scanner generation system. Among numerous other features, it has
very powerful and versatile error recovery techniques, including a
pattern-driven repair mechanism that, according to tests we had
conducted on the `well known' Drusekis & Ripley Pascal sample, succeeds
in more than 80% of the cases (results published in 1987 in 3"Science
and Computer Programming").
