Right now I use different grammars to parse similar structures in very
different ways, and the grammars are highly ambiguous, requiring
runtime disambiguation. If I could figure out how to use a signle
grammar, I would. But your ANTLR 2 approach looks quite promising.
Thank you, I will investigate it further. (For those interested, this
work is related to using parsers as the engines for classical expert
systems, a concept that unites two children, parsers and expert
systems, of Post Production Systems.)
