1. INTRODUCTION
The ANTLR v3.1 .NET Runtime Library extend the ANTLR language processing
tools generator to the C#/CLI platforms such as Microsoft .NET,
Novell/Ximian Mono and dotGNU. It is written in the C# programming language
and was designed specifically for use with the ANTLR C# Code Generation
target but, it would work equally well with a VB.NET, C++/CLI or indeed
IronPython code generator were such a thing to be developed for ANTLR v3.1.
We hope you find the ANTLR v3.1 .NET Runtime Library delightful and useful
even but, as per the license under which you may use it, this software is not
