So, you want to know how to use this?
-------------------------------------
Pretty much all you need is Bison, Flex and a C++ compiler, with up to date libraries and headers.
It's currently only a lexer, which means it only interprets the data into "tokens", numbers that represent those statements.
I've got it rigged up so that when you type in something, it'll return the token, and then output the appropriate text.
For now, just try things you would find in C.  if, else, while, for, ( ), { }.  String constants work as well ("hello").
Variables are expressed as a dollar sign "$", and then the variable name after if, as per PHP and PERL.  Functions are expressed with a "#" in front of the name, so "#print()" would be interpreted as a function.
The purpose of that at the moment is to allow for some funky embedding stuff later on.
