   <tool, language> (yacc) The {LALR} {parser generator} found on
   most {Unix} systems.  Also, the language used to describe the
   {syntax} of another language to yacc (the program).

   SASL-Yacc - "Yacc in {SASL} - An Exercise in Functional
   Programming", Simon Peyton-Jones, Software Prac & Exp
   15:807-820 (1985).  Mentions also a BCPL implementation.

   Yacc++ - 1990.  An {object-oriented} rewrite of yacc, supports
   {regular expressions}, produces an {LR1 grammar} parser.
