We're writing a paper on some of the weirder aspects of parsers that
backtrack or lookahead more than one terminal. Having done some of the
theory, we're looking round for parser generators to test. At the
moment I have


                          PCCTS in guess mode,
                          PRECC eXtended
                          BTYACC (Back Track YACC)
                          GRDP (our own generalised recursive descent).


I'd be very grateful for pointers to other parser generators, both
current and historical that display backtrack or lookahead behaviour.
