ANTLR (www.antlr.org) is the latest incarnation of Terence Parr's LL(k)
lexer/parser/treeparser generator. It replaced PCCTS for virtually all
usage
scenarios. It is written in Java but generates code in C++, C# and Python
in
addition to Java.
Try the ANTLR website (and mailing list) for links to do***ents,
tutorials,
sample grammars and an active community.
