I'm certainly not one to dismiss someone's hobby project; if it's a thing that is fun to work on, more power to you. You might even get a really useful result out of tinkering with it! I'm having a hard time imagining anything that's simpler than this p-code parser for a simple BIND-style zone file: if syntax error is encountered, abort with error read host read ttl optionally read class read type load expected rdata format for type read rdata if record read was duplicate data, abort with error Things get slightly more complicated when you add in $KEYWORDS, but not all that much. Anyway, if you can find a format that's an order-of-magnitude easier to work with than this, my hat's off to you. (If I were the sort of person that regularly found these sorts of things, I'd own an apartment building, rather than renting space in one. ;) )
