[ Originally posted to the developers' list. There wasn't an immediate
negative reaction, other than being called a 'freak' :), so I'm
interested in the general mailing list feeling as well. ]
Having already written a for-fun version of the database parser in lex/yacc
format, I'm interested in writing the ASCII player files with lex/yacc as
well. The computer science graduate in me says that all programmers should
know how to use them anyway.
I found some Windows ports of the GNU versions at:
http://www.monmouth.com/~wstreett/lex-yacc/lex-yacc.html
so that shouldn't be a problem. Maybe more of a problem for VMS but
there's probably some versions around.
Besides, the lex/yacc parser was _faster_ than the existing loading
routines. Any comments/objections?
