The major data structures are documented, with a view toward their use in the generation of a recursive descent parser. Module interaction within the TWS, and applications derived from it, are clearly defined. Sufficient background is provided on attributed grammars to make use of the TWS in a practical application. The TWS is redesigned to separate areas of concern within both the modules and the data structures. The modules are redefined so that each one has a specific set of tasks to perform, each one dealing with a small facet of the TWS.viii, 103 leavesBTDapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V851 1992.O366Translators (Computer programs)TWT (Electronic computer system)Master's projecthttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-12232009-020105/
