That's great to hear. I'll be happy to answer any questions you
might have.

We don't have a BNF or other syntactic specification.
I'm too busy right now on v1.5 to create one,

syntactically very small and easy to parse. If one
of your students creates one based on refman.doc
I can check it and report any errors to you.
