A yacc compatible grammar for Ada was developed by Herman Fischer
at Litton Data Systems, Van Nuys, CA.
An updated version of this grammar is available in the SIMTEL20 Ada
Software Repository (ftp wsmr-simtel20.army.mil).
The grammar is found in PD2:<ADA.EXTERNAL-TOOLS>GRAM2.SRC
It is approximately 80K.

If you want a yacc parser written in Ada, consider the ayacc parser
developed by the Arcadia project at Univ Calif at Irvine.
ayacc is not available via ftp -- it is bundled with a bunch of
other tools from the Arcadia project.  It isn't free, but you can't
complain about $75.00 for a mag-tape full of software.
Contact Arcadia project at arcadia-software@isc.uci.edu.
