ASDT is still very much appreciated by the many of us who is not eligible for a free FDT license, and don't wanna shell of the €200 or what ever. U guys are doing great work. Also, great to hear that you are looking into ANTLR - it just keeps getting better.
Cheers,

Well, I am working full time on a (hopefully) soon to be released
product (actually service) but this is an area of great interest to
me. ANTLR seems very interesting based on the homepage, so I am
downloading it now. I will definitely throw some spare cyles at this.
