Yesterday I downloaded and unshared the new Flex sources -- and I couldn't
believe it !!

All old non ANSI and compiler dependencies have been eliminated -- it compiled
without changes and whats more important the resulting version seems to be OK !

What you need is  YACC to compile parse.y to parse.c/parse.h and to make some
system dependent makefile changes, that's all.

I will eliminate a  bug which I detected a year ago and didn't report to the
author; add some help information, the few patches that are necessary to
compile it under TOS, and test it again with all options.

Should I post the cdiffs and parse.c/parse.h only, or the complete sources ?
Who is working on a 'restricted' PC port ? The ST sizes are:

    73354     flex
    >85000 , <90000 data + stack necessary to flex scan.l to scan.c
