B72-2 A Compiler Generator

The authors´ compiler generator is a translator-writing system (TWS) based on their derivative of PL/I called XPL. Of course, XPL is designed to be self-compiling. The book can be viewed either as a User´s Manual for the XPL system or as an introduction to the construction of TWS´s. These dual approaches complement each other since one provides the illustration of the theoretical principles studied in the other.
