The basis for TWIG is described in

	Efficient Tree Pattern Matching:
		an Aid to Code Generation
	A. Aho and M. Ganapathi
	POPL 12, 1985

The TWIG reference manual (I've never seen this one) is

	Twig reference maual
	S. Tjiang
	AT&T Bell Labs, internal memorandum
	January 1986

An interesting application is

	Anatomy of a Hardware Compiler
	K. Keutzer and W. Wolf
	Sigplan 88 Conference on Programming Language
	Design and Implementation
	in Sigplan Notices, July 1988

BEG is described in

	BEG - A generator for efficient back ends
	H. Emmelmann, F. Schr\:oer, and R. Landwehr
	Sigplan 89 Conference on Programming Language Design &c.
	Sigplan Notices, July 1989
