This is a subject that has been talked about in other forums but I
just recently "re-discovered" this newsgroup so I thought I would ask
about it here. 

We would like to implement a parser using Turbo Pascal. It seems that 
using OOP concepts could naturally be applied to the problem. It 
would help with developing, debugging and extending the code. Has anybody 
out there done or thought about writing a parser using
objects ? I would be interested in reading about the structure of the objects. 
Examples, of course, would be even better.

By the way, I saw the article in the latest Computer Language magazine.
This was good and I called the author to get more information but I am
interested more in the parsing of something like complex mathematical 
expressions than the compilation of assembler statements.
