`Language:`	Ml4 (extended EBNF)

`Description:`	Depot4 generates recursive descent parsers and translators. Ml4 is a true extension of N.Wirth's EBNF. It features a unique translation=20 centred description, which makes it especially useful for people not educated in compiler construction. The Ml4 translator can bootstrap itself, thus serving as an example. Although translators are generated in a certain host language, their description is totally independent from this. Depot4 is intended for domain specific language implementation.
