Oops, my bad.  I forgot to remove the browse database file from the 
archive before posting it, which made a 92KB zip file jump to 232KB.  
Apologies.

Though I'm tempted to say "no" (as this is a Win32-targeted project), 
I went ahead and put up PDF versions.  They are available from the 
same page (http://www.moselle.com/jsrs/protoc/protoc.html).

<aside>
Also, check out http://www.nllgg.nl/Ted/ for RTF on Unix.  File 
formats, like all inanimate objects, are inherently neither good nor 
evil; it's just the apps that make them so.  :-)

One of these days I'll update the specs.  Things have changed in the 
{C} world a LOT in the last couple of weeks (including the entire 
read/write slot resolution system, which is kinda the whole point of 
the language).

Speaking of medium-sized ANTLR projects, has anyone else thought 
about putting together an ANTLR Patterns collection?  A few that I'm 
thinking about, to whit:

* Expression parsers with precedence
* Successively applied tree parsers for optimization/transformation 
sequences
* Text scanners (like Ter's "really big lookahead" article) vs...
* Compilers
* Interpreters

What do people think?
