Abstract: This paper describes LexAGen, an interactive scanner generator which is the first component
of an interactive compiler generation environment. LexAGen can generate fast scanners for
languages whose tokens can be specified by regular grammars. However, LexAGen also supports
several context sensitive programming language constructs like nested comments and the
interaction between floating point numbers and the range operator in Modula-2. In addition,
LexAGen includes a fast new algorithm for... (Update)
