Ah, the best-laid plans.  The 'or' feature doesn't work, and the logic 
was sloppy.  So here's a new version which fixes that.

	http://blancolioni.org/ada/macks/macks-0.0.2-src.tar.gz
	http://blancolioni.org/ada/macks/macks-0.0.2-src.zip

Or you can download the changes only:

	http://blancolioni.org/ada/macks/macks-0.0.2-patch.tar.gz
         http://blancolioni.org/ada/macks/macks-0.0.2-patch.zip

The patches (they're not really patches in the 'diff -c' style; sorry 
about that) uncompress into a directory called macks-0.0.2-patch; you 
should copy the contents into your macks source directory and recompile.

I've also added a file called macks.grammar, which specifies the grammar 
of the .macks file.

For some reason I can't open the .tar.gz files with WinZip.  They should 
work with Unix tar/gzip.

cheers,
Fraser.
