There's a working pascal EBNF description in the RDP distribution that
generates a parser for fairly straight level 0 Pascal with some
extensions to cope with some Borland skull-duggery. You might find it
useful as a starting point and you might like to use RDP as your
development tool. The 1.5 version is presently in beta release. You
might prefer the stable 1.4 version. Look at
