>Are there any new Dragons on the way?


I have just bought Dick Grune et al's new book "Modern Compiler
Design" which, by the way, I find highly readable (just as I did Grune
and Jacobs "Parsing Techniques - a practical guide" which they made
available on the net for free when the copyright reverted to them) and
on page 48 of the new work they say: "The most famous compiler
construction book ever is doubtlessly [Dragon Book]; unfortunately, no
modern edition of it is to be expected." I don't know how they know.
