Hi,

While rewriting the XML dissector I wrote a generic parser module that
even if it is slow it's powerful and versatile.

Later on while experimenting for abnf2eth (a never written tool I
planned to use to rewrite at least megaco and mgcp) I came up with TPG
(Text Parser Generator) a prtotype that I did not like myself but I
still wanted to preserve for future reference.

Implementing a protocol description language on top of tvbparse is
something I like to do somewhere in a not too far  future. Not wanting
to reinvent the wheel again (I did it for TPG) I wanted to know if
there's such a thing as a protocol description language able to
describe both text and binary protocols I can Implement for ethereal.

Any pointers or Ideas?

Luis
