     On sumex-aim.stanford.edu, in the directory "/info-mac/source/c,"
you will find "bison.hqx" and "flex.hqx."  These are ports of GNU
Bison, a yacc emulator, and Vern Paxson's flex, a fast lex emulator.
I did the port with MPW C 2.0.2, the tools work fine under version 3.0
of the MPW Shell, and the generated code should be portable enough to
withstand any enhancements Apple has made to the C compiler.

     For those without internet access, a self-addressed stamped
mailer and a formatted 800k floppy sent to the address below, along
with a note describing what you want, will get you sources and
binaries to both tools.
