Abstract
This report describes the use of computer program that converts a grammar's production rules from extended Backus-Naur-Form (EBNF) to another equivalent set of production rules in ordinary Backus-Naur-Form suitable for use with the Yet Another Compiler-Compiler (YACC) system. This permits the language designer to use the far less bulky EBNF formats, and then to automatically convert to BNF for use with YACC. A PDP-11 computer system running the UNIX operating system is assumed
