Hi Eric,

Thanks for Gobo Eiffel. You have done a great job!

I have a quick question though. I want to return my own token when EOF is
matched in the scanner to my parser. The reason is that I gather up all the
comments and add them to my own TOKEN object so that each token found also
includes the comments that appeared immediately before it.

So if I can pass my own special EOF token object back to my parser I can 
get
the comments that appear at the end of the file. I tried this:

<<EOF>>			{
				terminate;
				last_token := EOF_TK;
				matched_token(create {TOKEN}.make(EOF_TK, line, column, line, column,
comments));
				}

But it seems the parser does not get this token. Any idea why or how I 
should
be doing this instead?

Thanks very much in advance,

Nicholas Allen
