[antlr-interest] predicate and ambiguity

[Jonathan Thomas]

PDF request - Lloyd, it's always worth your while checking out the antlr 
website!
www.antlr.org

On the front page is picture of the book (and some text explaining 
beside it) fair in the middle of the page.

Clicking the picture brings you to here:

where you can see Yes! PDF is available for purchase by itself.

Cheers,
JT.
