[I threatened to start an FAQ for Ada.  Maybe I will now...  Anybody else
game?]

(1) Try the Software Environments Project at the University of California
Irvine.  Ask for Ayacc, alex and aflex.  I've gotten these and they work
fine (I think there's a license fee of $75 or such).

	Environment Project
	Department of Information and Computer Science
	University of California
	Irvine, CA   92717
	arcadia-software@ics.uci.edu

(2) Yacca, et all from the Tampere University of Technology (host
kaarne.cc.tut.fi, anonymous FTP) 

	ASENTO (Ada Software ENgineering TOols) consists of Ada Yacc
	(YACCA), which is an Ada implementation of the well-know Unix tool
	yacc (naturally, output language is Ada), and Adaface, an interface
	generator for Ada programs and packages.

(3) The STARS repository has a parser generator that was written by
Westinghouse as part of the Foundations Contracts.  I  think it's available
these day from the STARS/IBM Repository run by SAIC in Florida, but they
haven't returned my phone call or email yet...
