Thats easy to do!
The parsers as they are work on "streams"/buffers of data - i.e, char *s,
rather than files. To work on a file, the file must be read in
completely (or at least a single block, which isn't difficult to do - I
will be providing functions to read in a block ({..}) from a file -
simply modified versions of the ones used to extract a block from a
stream/buffer).
It would be the master-parser's job to determine which bit of info must
be parsed, and how.
The master-parser isn't even begun yet, but is a trivial job - I want the
main parsers and parser-functions finished first.
