I just got an advert from ParcPlace announcing a bunch of new products,
one of which appeared to be some sort of yacc-like parser
well-integrated into Smalltalk in a Smalltalk-ish way.  (I don't have
the advert here and I didn't really read it closely yet, so details are
sketchy.)  Unless you already have a bunch of translators written in
yacc syntax, you might want to contact ParcPlace to get information
(info@parcplace.com).

Also, there is always the user-defined primitives, altho I don't
know how well that would work for yacc and lex.    -- Darren
