I am currently investigating lexical analyzer generators and have tracked down many of the articles cited in the discussion. Thank you, one and all. I now would like to learn of any other scanner generators. I am not as concerned with performance issues as the previous discussion was. Also, I could use some pointers to information about LexAGen and Rex. They were mentioned in the discussion, but I do not recall seeing references on them. Thank you, Julie A.
