Actually, there are 2 reasons I want to try ANTLR:
1) My grammar has recently got more complex and, for the first time, I
need to add an AST to check one of the new constructs;
2) I've always had niggling problems with the single-token lookahead on
lex/yacc, but I can more or less live with those.
So, I figured it would be simpler to learn ANTLR than to write my own
tree-processing code, and I could get the lookahead as a bonus.

Thanks - I'll give them a go.

Sounds like you're missing a trick here. If I was getting 5K
downloads/month, then I'd take a couple of months off, finish the book,
and order myself a new yacht. :)
