1. Compile and run

You can download ABEL from

	Click here to download ABEL

Next, you should unpack the archive, and then type

	abel.make

for compiling. Type

	abel.parse --help

for getting help about the parser (this is currently
the only component implemented). You can then run a
simple test suite by means of

	./test

You can also try, for example

	prompt>cat expr0.c
	a+b*c;
	prompt>./abel.parse --rules=crules.syn --parse < expr0.c --format=sexpr --color
        (";" (+ a (* b c)))
	prompt>_

N.B. : You can also browse the ABEL CVS repository

2. Feedback

It is very useful for me to have a rough idea about the number of
permanent users and for what applications you are interested in ABEL.
Furthermore, I will always be glad to receive your suggestions and
problems.
