+.SH NAME
+ml-burg \- a tree parser generator for Standard ML
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B ml-burg
+.IR file .burg
+.br
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page documents briefly the
+.B ml-burg
+command.
+This manual page was written for the Debian distribution
+because the original program does not have a manual page.
+
+The
+.B ml-burg
+program generates a Standard ML program to perform bottom-up rewriting
+of an input tree. Cost information associated with each rewrite rule
+is used to derive the minimum rewrite cost for the entire tree. A
+successful reduction corresponds to rewriting the input tree to a
+special non-terminal symbol called the 
+.IR "start non-terminal" .
+Upon successful reduction, facilities are provided to walk the tree
+emitting semantic actions corresponding to the rules that matched.
+
+When
+.IR ml-burg " is presented with " file ".burg, the file " file ".sml"
+is generated.

+which is available in
