Another possiblity to consider is OpenToken
( http://www.telepath.com/~dennison/Ted/OpenToken/OpenToken.html ). I
know it compiles with gnat 3.12p on NT, becuse that is the system I use
to build it. :-)

If you have a canned lex specification you want to use, aflex would
probably be better. But if you would have to write a lex specification
to use lex, OpenToken would be much easier to use. Also if you want to
analyze Ada source (as the last statement implies), OpenToken comes with
an Ada lexer.

It currently has no support for parsing, but that should be rectified by
the end of the week. Release 2.0 will have facilities for parsing, and
an lalr(1) parser.
