	SORCERER

    A simple tree parser generator by Terence Parr
   .

   SORCERER is suitable for translation problems lying between
   those solved by code generator generators and by full
   source-to-source translator generators.  SORCERER generates
   simple, flexible, top-down, tree parsers that, in contrast
   to code generators, may execute actions at any point during a
   tree walk.  SORCERER accepts extended BNF notation, allows
   predicates to direct the tree walk with semantic and
   syntactic context information, and does not rely on any
   particular intermediate form, parser generator, or other
   pre-existing application.

   SORCERER is included in the Purdue Compiler-Construction Tool
   Set.
