Abstract
The telegram analysis problem posed by Henderson and Snowdon has been repeatedly taken into account. This paper adds yet another contribution to the literature on this problem. We propose rigorous specification methods, and describe how programs can be derived from BNF to Definite Clause Grammar in Prolog by two different methods. One method is especially useful for large scale problems and has been applied to file manipulation, and the other is applicable to simple problems.
