GUI available besides NAGAT! (fwd)

[Bryan Loniewski]

programmer = lazy, so what my boss wrote below is what I would like you
(someone) to comment on! On top of that is there a webpage, or some more
information regarding osesm, I can take a look at, help develop, etc..?

Thanks.

Why not ask them what they want in a parser module.  We (read that you:-)
might be persuaded to write such a thing.  From my brief look at the new
config format, I'd say it could be done in a "week or so".

Questions like: What language should it be in?  Do they have a formal
definition for the file format?  (dare I ask for EBNF) What do the want
the results to be?  (A parse tree?  A set ob objects? ...)
