Bad News, Glenn.  This is NOT a public domain yacc; this is THE yacc, as in
AT&T's yacc.  I strongly urge you to cancel your articles and everyone to
delete their copies.

Real Yacc got onto a DECUS tape by mistake, and has long since been
withdrawn.  Still, since then it has made the rounds and pops up on the net
and on BBSes now and again.

There is no `Public Domain Yacc' that I know of.  Bison is a freely distri-
butable Yacc clone, but it is never refered to as `PD-Yacc'.  If you see
such a thing on a BBS or somewhere, you can be 99.9% sure that it is a
decendant of this rogue DECUS Yacc.

Pass the word...
