I very much appreciate your responses to my questions.  They help to fill
in the background for what I'm trying to do.  I was mistaken when I said
the GNU lexer is 10,000 lines long.  In fact, I gave the line count of the
preprocessor code.  The lexer is about 1500 lines of C code, including
comments.  I have downloaded Philip Dart's parser and will do the same for
Wild_LIFE.  Part of the fascination of this for me is trying to understand
the times when it is appropriate to use Prolog.  It helps, I guess, to know
something about Prolog's implementation.  My sights are ultimately on C++. 
Thanks again.
