There aren't a lot of good lexers and compiler generators available in
Object Pascal unfortunately**. One notable exception was DCG by Mike
Lischke, but it was also quite bug-ridden. My own implementation, which is
based partially on DCG, works perfectly however and it allows you to
implement any parser of your own choice (personally I think it's a much
better alternative then the traditional Lex & YACC). I'm planning to make it
public at some point, but at the moment this is *not* at the top of the 
list.

** I can't say if this is the reason they use C for the implementation.
