- This may be a strange question, but having read in the latest issue of
- BYTE about Machine Translation, I thought, why not express the source
- language in yacc to resolve all ambiguities like "the can can be filled"
- where "can" is noun or verb?
-
- I realise the enormity of such a scheme, but I would
- very much like to know if anybody has produced such a front end for
- an MT device.

- Thank you
