I know it, and I've talked about Gema in a thread at comp.lang.ada two
months ago.

Any way, Gema and MetaScribe seems to be very different things : Gema
is a preprocessor without any predefined syntax (it requires an
external set of rules), and =93that's all=94 . While MetaScribe comes with
a lot of formalisms and is clearly intended to deal with meta-datas
(as far as I've understood).
