taccle is another compiler compiler for the Tcl language.  It takes as input a "taccle specification file"; from this taccle generates a Tcl file that implements an LALR(1) parser.  The program brings to the Tcl language what yacc and bison do for C and C++.

This is a scanner generator program much like flex(1) is to C.  If you have no desire to author Tcl programs, particularly those that manipulate text, fickle is not for you.  A passing knowledge of flex or some other lex-like program would be useful as that fickle uses nearly identical syntax and commands as flex.  Two good references are the flex(1) man page and the O'Reilly book 'lex & yacc' by Levine, Mason, and Brown.

Examples of working fickle code may be found in the 'examples' directory.  See the examples' README for further details.
