	       Alex: A Lexical Analyser Generator

Alex is a Lex-like tool for generating Haskell scanners. For complete documentation, see the doc directory.

http://www.haskell.org/alex/ http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/alex

Alex is built using Cabal. First install GHC, then:

$ runhaskell Setup.lhs configure $ runhaskell Setup.lhs build $ runhaskell Setup.lhs install

Alex version 2.0 has changed fairly considerably since version 1.x, and the syntax is almost completely different. For a detailed list of changes, see the release notes in the documentation.

Alex is now covered by a BSD-Style licence; see the licence file in the `doc' directory for details.

The sources are in the the src' directory and the documentation in the doc' directory; various examples are in the 'examples' subdirectory.

The source code in the 'src' and 'examples' directories is intended for a Haskell 98 compiler with hierarchical modules. It should work with GHC >= 5.04.

Please report any bugs or comments to the email addresses given below.
