NAME
       nowhere - a tree parser generator for Standard ML


SYNOPSIS
       nowhere file


DESCRIPTION
       This  manual page documents briefly the nowhere command.  This manual page was written for
       the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       The nowhere program is a simple source to source translation tool that  expands  out  case
       expressions with conditional patterns.

       Conditional patterns use the "where" keyword.  For example:

        case l of
          [x,y,z] where x=1 => 1
        | _ => 2

       means the same as:

        case l of
          [1,y,z] => 1
        | _ => 2

       Currently, the input file must be of the following form:

        local
          <definitions>
        in
          <body>
        end
          <definitions>

       should  include  all  datatypes definitions that are used inside the body.  It is only for
       the tool's benefit and does not appear in the output.  Only body appears  at  the  output.
       You can use the special declaration

            include "filename"

       to import extra definitions.

       The tool translates all case expressions with guards into the appropriate code.
