A central place for information about PCCTS 1.33 is:
http://www.polhode.com/pccts.html
The maintenance release is available from:
http://www.polhode.com/pccts133mr.zip
There is a ready-to-run version for win32 for Microsoft Visual Studio
at the same site. It is available from:
http://www.polhode.com/win32.zip
There is a newsgroup dedicated to pccts 1.33 and related topics:
comp.compilers.tools.pccts
You may also want to register for the antlr-interest mailing list
which is provided gratis by the following service:

New users should visit http://www.polhode.com/pccts.html in
order to get the following document:
"Notes For New Users of PCCTS"
This is a Postscript file of about 40 pages which is extremely
useful for someone starting out. It is a based on 1.33mr7 so is a
little bit out-of-date. The section on semantic predicates is
very out of date, but I have not had time to revise it.
When you have a little more experience, be sure to review the
following documents in the distribution kit:
CHANGES_FROM_133.txt
CHANGES_FROM_133_BEFORE_MR13.txt
KNOWN_PROBLEMS.txt

INSTALLATION (Unix)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
0. Download http://www.polhode.com/pccts133mr.zip
1. Unzip the distribution kit to your preferred location.
2. cd to the main pccts directory.
3. make
This will create:
antlr.exe
dlg.exe
sorcerer.exe
genmk.exe
4. Add pccts/bin to your path.
5. To get an up-to-date list of program options execute the
program with no command line options. To get up-to-date
documentation read CHANGES_FROM_133*.txt and KNOWN_PROBLEMS.txt
at:
http://www.polhode.com/pccts.html.
6. You need not create a library. The makefile created by genmk
assumes that the files are not part of a library.
If you wish to create a library from elements of pccts/h:
If the first letter of the filename is lowercase (uppercase) it is
related to the code generated using the pccts C mode (C++ mode).
Some of the .c and .cpp files in the h directory are not meant to
be placed in a library and will not compile because they are meant
to be #include in pccts generated files which are grammar specific.
For C++ users place the following elements in the library:
AParser.cpp
ASTBase.cpp
ATokenBuffer.cpp
BufFileInput.cpp (optional)
DLexerBase.cpp
PCCTSAST.cpp
SList.cpp
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION (Win32)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've tried to keep the win32 kit to the minimum necessary to get
up and running. The complete kit contains additional information
(some historical), source code, and DevStudio projects for
rebuilding pccts from the source code.
The kit is now distributed with both MSVC 5 and MSVC6 style projects.

1. Unzip the distribution kit to your preferred location.
This will create:
a pccts directory tree
pccts/bin/*.exe
pccts/lib/*.lib
pccts/h/*
sorcerer/lib/*
sorcerer/h/*
an example directory tree
example\calcAST\*
example\simple\*
2. Define the environment variable PCCTS to point to the main
pccts directory.
3. Try building the simple project: example\simple\simple50.dsw
or simple60.dsw.
4. Try building the complex project: example\calcAST\calcAST50.dsw
or calcAST60.dsw.
