It was a BNF or EBNF grammar specified in a pane, or in a file. The save function didn't work when I used it, so I copied and pasted from a local text file. The tool consumed the grammar and produced a method/function call for the parser.

One of the cool things about it was that it did parse-as-needed, where you could change a rule and it would only reparse that rule.

Was it only a BNF parser generator or did it also help with implementing the language's actual functionality?
