Hello,

As anyone build a compiler (or just a parser) for procedural languages such 
Fortran, C, Pascal, Cobol... using the Eiffel parsing library? I'd like
to have some feedbacks concerning the good and the not-so-good aspects of
this library for that purpose. How powerfull is it compare to Lex and
Yacc? 

thanks for all answer, 

alain.
