Hi Richard,
That sounds fairly impressive - even if it doesn't do much, right now.
I don't know if you've already seen them; or even if they're helpful, but have you had a look at
http://nmparsers.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/changesets for examples of parser code? (I believe that most files are covered under the BSD Licence, if the tab on that project microsite is to be believed - so it should be safe to use them for what you're trying to do (but don't quote me on that)).
I look forward to seeing more, soon...
Tyson.

I have started working on an NPL to Wireshark compiler/converter ...
At this stage all I have is an initial Flex scanner file and a simple
Lemon grammar and some test files. The grammar is conflict free, but
not necessarily complete (lacking in examples and there does not seem
to be a spec from Microsoft :-(). I have been working from the
example/s in the Microsoft document I posted a link to a few days ago
called "Writing a Parser from Wire to Window."
The next steps are to:
1. Get the grammar working more, and in particular, generate an AST,
2. Add more to the grammar
3. Generate dissectors in C.
What I have is attached for those who are curious and for feedback.
