Honestly Rudy, I've not expressed an opinion along these lines at all. I did 
read some of the comments made by Barry Kelly and I think that was really a 
bit of en eye-opener for me. I didn't fully comprehend the nature of 
commercial compiler development earlier. At the same time, I'm curious about 
what are the limiting factors when using a compiler generator as opposed to 
using a hand-written compiler.


I think you should try to leave that car incident behind.
