Sorry to be so late in replying to this one. Maybe it is still
of some interest.

I built a stand-alone csound orc parser skeleton using flex and bison
and it is sitting at:

        ftp://musart.dist.unige.it/CSOUND/csound-parser-v0.0.tar.gz

or

        ftp://musart.dist.unige.it/CSOUND/csound-parser-v0.0.zip

building a back end for saol for it should be pretty easy: the problem
is that I don't know saol well enough to do it quickly, so unless you
are all willing to wait... Other problems I can see are: 1) opcode
translation; 2) inline function translation. But again, I don't know:
these may not be problems.

cheers,

Nicola
