[Haskell-cafe] Happy GLR parser creation problem

[João Paulo]

Hi Paul,

During my internship I developed a GLR parser generator and a grammar  
interpreter fully in Haskell, in a tool called HaGLR;

You'll find documentation on the tool at:

http://wiki.di.uminho.pt/twiki/bin/view/Research/PURe/HaGLR

The tool is available as part of the UMinho Haskell libraries at:

http://wiki.di.uminho.pt/twiki/bin/view/Research/PURe/PUReSoftware

I have to say that the tool was maintained until 2005/2006, but that,  
unfortunately, not any more;

Anyway, the tool itself consisted of very simple Haskell code, so it  
should easily be updated/altered;

Hope it helps!

Joao
