+.SH NAME
+dlg \- DFA Lexical Analyzer Generator
+.SH SYNTAX
+.LP
+\fBdlg\fR [\fIoptions\fR] \fIlexical_spec\fR [\fIoutput_file\fR]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B dlg
+is a tool that produces fast deterministic finite automata for recognizing
+regular expressions in input.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.IP "\fB-CC\fR"
+Generate C++ output. The \fIoutput_file\fP is not specified in this
+case.
+.IP "\fB-C\fR[\fP level\fR]
+Where \fPlevel\fR is the compression level used. 0 indications no
+compression, 1 removes all unused characters from the transition from table,
+and 2 maps equivalent characters into the same character classes. It is
+suggested that level -C2 is used, since it will significantly reduce the size
+of the dfa produced for lexical analyzer.
+.IP "\fB-m\fP
+Produces the header file for the lexical mode with a name other than
+the default name of "mode.h".
+.IP \fB-i\fP
+An interactive, or as interactive as possible, parser is produced. A character
+is only obtained when required to decide which state to go to. Some care
+must be taken to obtain accept states that do not require look ahead at the
+next character to determine if that is the stop state. Any regular expression
+with a Kleene closure at the end is guaranteed to require another character
+of look ahead.
+.IP "\fB-cl\fP class
+Specify a class name for DLG to generate. The default is DLGLexer.
+'class' will be a subclass of DLGLexerBase; only used for -CC.
+.IP \fB-ci\fP
+The automaton will treat upper and lower case characters identically.
+This is accomplished in the automaton; the characters in the lexical
+buffer are unmodified.
+.IP \fB-cs\fP
+Upper and lower case characters are treated as distinct. This is the
+default.
+.IP "\fB-o\fP dir
+Directory where output files should go (default="."). This is very
+nice for keeping the source directory clear of ANTLR and DLG spawn.
+.IP \fB-Wambiguity\fP
+Warns if more than one regular expression could match the same character
+sequence. The warnings give the numbers of the expressions in the dlg
+lexical specification file. The numbering of the expressions starts at one.
+Multiple warnings may be print for the same expressions.
+.IP \-
+Used in place of file names to get input from standard in or send output
+to standard out.
+.SH "SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS"
+.PP
+\fIDlg\fP works... we think. There is no implicit guarantee of
+anything. We reserve no \fBlegal\fP rights to the software known as
+the Purdue Compiler Construction Tool Set (PCCTS) \(em PCCTS is in the
+public domain. An individual or company may do whatever they wish
+with source code distributed with PCCTS or the code generated by
+PCCTS, including the incorporation of PCCTS, or its output, into
+commercial software. We encourage users to develop software with
+PCCTS. However, we do ask that credit is given to us for developing
+PCCTS. By "credit", we mean that if you incorporate our source code
+into one of your programs (commercial product, research project, or
+otherwise) that you acknowledge this fact somewhere in the
+documentation, research report, etc... If you like PCCTS and have
+developed a nice tool with the output, please mention that you
+developed it using PCCTS. As long as these guidelines are followed, we
+expect to continue enhancing this system and expect to make other
+tools available as they are completed.
