If you get this error when trying to compile your grammar and voca files: 

$ mkdfa.pl sample
sample.grammar has 3 rules
sample.voca    has 6 categories and 18 words
---
Now parsing grammar file
"rror:       Lexical mistake "
---
no .dfa or .dict file generated

use the Cygwin "dos2unix" command in the same directory as your grammar and voca files, for example:

$ cd temp

$ ls
sample.grammar  sample.voca

$ dos2unix *.*
sample.grammar: done.
sample.term: done.
sample.voca: done.

$ mkdfa.pl sample
sample.grammar has 3 rules
sample.voca    has 6 categories and 18 words
