yup but if the work invlolved could be reduced 
everyone would be happy

i looked over the antlr stuff
i have to say thats getting way ahead of myself!!

could you
let me know if there is a way
{in C++} to access/send a file/stream 
to the VRML97Parser functions
and get an answer back to its validity/parsability as a vrml doc?

basically a thumbs up or down 
situation for now would be cool enough
for now from my perspective



i cant recall , did i answer this?:
   OpenVRML already parses and validates its input. What kind of
   application are you envisioning?


basically i want to provide 
wrapper so ppl can test 
validity against openvrml
from a server script!
