Re: should I use bison?

[Hans Aberg]

A simple way to get started with Bison is to start with the  
calculator in the Bison manual, or the use a Flex/Bison combination,  
as in the book by Aho, Sethi & Ullman, "Compilers...". Then  
experiment, and expand from there.

As for the general parsing problem, and compiler tools, you might  
benefit from checking out the Usenet newsgroup comp.compilers, and  
its FAQ, published there monthly.
