Subject: Ayacc/Aflex "entropy" (P2Ada)

Hi all.

I've observed the phenomenon that most
enhancements brought to Pascal.Y in my attempts
to extend P2Ada for the Borland-ish Pascal language
"nebula" increases the "Reduce/Reduce conflicts"
(what does it mean? nothing good surely...)
and can confuse the translator in unexpected way.

- Is there a strategy to avoid it (I'm completely
  amateur in ayacc) ?

- Should one "migrate" to a replacement of ayacc ?

- If so, is there an automatic way to translate
  Pascal.Y ?...

Volunteers are welcome to contribute a bit to
this work.
There seems to be some demand for porting
the monoculture, proprietary Delphi
(or Borland Pascal, Turbo Pascal) to portable,
standardized Ada. Present state of P2Ada is @

Note that there is a PasTran tool by RR software
http://www.rrsoftware.com/ but which sort of Pascal
does it translate?...
