[antlr-interest] Visually display the DFA ANTLR generates

I just don't know AntlrWorks's fidelity to the actual code. I already
found one case where the ANTLRWorks interpreter works differently from
the actual generated code. Does it read the generated code to build the
graph?

ANTLworks can show you a graphical representation of the lexer DFA and
of the choice DFA for individual rules. You have to have the GraphViz
package installed so ANLTRworks can invoke its "dot" command.

Oh, yeah???

Please don't send this nonsense. It's meaningless in a public email
forum.
