      Can anyone say what level of "compiler technology" MOSS uses? It
      appears the source code is not publically available (to increase the
      efficacy of the tool, not for hoarding reasons). I'm just interested
      in whether it uses "merely textual" algorithms or does a parse of the
      code and then works on the parse trees and symbol table.


Details of the algorithm are not publically available for the same reason
the source code is not publically available...
