RE: parser creation

[Corbin Champion]

Thanks for pointing me at lex.l and parser.y
What I was thinking I might try is to see if I could create an Octave parser 
in Java using JavaCC.  The methodology is simlar to using Bison or Lex and 
YACC, so I wanted to see the .l and .y files to uses as a base point.
