| Title: | The NewYacc User's Manual |
| Authors: | White, Elizabeth L.

| Abstract: | This manual introduces NewYacc, a parser generator system built
upon the original yacc system within Unix. NewYacc's principal extension
is to provide users with a way to associate rewrite rules with individual
productions in the language grammar. These rules are used to describe how
the parse tree (which is saved in NewYacc but not in original yacc) should
be traversed, plus users can easily control what action is performed at
each node in the tree during their traversals. This provides users with
great leverage in the construction of a variety of source to source
translation tools. This manual assumes a general familiarity with
original yacc.
