- In about 1982 LR was available for a nominal fee from the National Energy
- Software Center located at Argone National Laboratory. I used a copy to
- write my masters thesis.
-
- The system is described in:
-
- Wetherall, Charles and Alfred Shannon, "LR - Automatic Parser
- Generator and LR(1) Parser," IEEE Transactions on Software
- Engineering SE-7, 3, 274-278, May 1981.
-
- The tables are meant to be transportable, so they are not packed at all.
- I spent some time packing the tables and extending the grammar so that it
- would be tolerable to use.
-
- I have a copy somewhere on a 9-track tape in DEC-10 backup format, but
- since I have neither a DEC-10, a 9-track tape drive nor any desire to look
- for it, please don't ask.
