I found pccts very easy to use, I do not know how it compares with
Anagram.  It is included with many Linux & ???BSD distributions.

pccts generates parsers that constructs a tree representation of their
input, and a "tree walker" to generate the transformed output.
The parsers are alike to hand-crafted recursive-descent parsers
instead of the table/state machine approach used by YACC.  ( In my
opinion this makes debugging grammars much easier.)

See  http://www.antlr.org/pccts133.html for the original pccts tool
(written in C) and http://www.antlr.org for its successor (written in
Java)

Hi,

I am looking for a parser generating tool that can generate C code
suitable for small MCUs, such as an AVR. Preferably it should be able
to generate code for a state machine type parser.
Something like Anagram from Parsifal Soft would have been ideal, but
unfortunately Jerome T. Holland of Parsifal soft died some time ago,
and since then Anagram has been unavailable.

Can anyone recommend a similar tool, or perhaps have a second hand
copy of Anagram they wish to sell.
