grammar checker



hi everyone,

is there a grammar checker for a generic language available?

what i mean is:
given the BNF/EBNF definition of a language, and a program written in that
language, i would like to be able to check for the program's syntactic
correctness.   therefore, i would like to have a program that has a section
that defines the grammar of the language, e.g.:

(define production-rules
   '(
     (<fname> <id>)      ; <fname> ::= <id>
           .
           .
   other productions...
    )
)

so that i can change that part to the grammar of my own language...

i think this is something that is quite commonly done..... so if anyone
has the code for it, would you please send it to me?

many many thanks!!!
