Ahh, ok. I was looking at the DMDFE listing here:

http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?GrammarParsers#DMDFrontEndStarterKitDMDFE

And it just had a link to a NG announcement posting and a "Project Page" 
link to:

http://home.comcast.net/~benhinkle/dmdfe/

Which automatically redirected to a 404 page.

I'll update the Wiki.
