Haven't actually used it mind, but it looks promising :) Just managed to figure out my Makefile so it'll happily build it into my project and allow me to create more libs to use for it<br>

Thanks again for the help, I think the main thing here is that I want to<br>be able to work primarily on the PS2s, without transferring much from<br>the computer if possible as I will have to spend some of the development<br>
time on the Uni machines hooked upto the PS2s there, so I'm basically<br>stuck with what's on the PS2s as standard, so probably just using bison<br>or yacc, or making my own (more than likely inferior) parser.<br>
<br>Thanks still for the suggestions, if my current targets end up making me<br>curl up in a corner and cry then I will probably create the parser on my<br>PC and copy it over anyway<br>Anyway, off to the lab with me<br>
