I'm trying to find someone who has compiled and run the yacc clone 'zoo'
which is available via anon ftp from some site at Berkeley (I forget where).

I have done so, but it is not generating correct output.

I have compiled zoo using both VMS and Ultrix (pcc) C.  Both compilations
were successful.  Both versions generate similar output.  I have found two
problems:

1) y.tab.c does not contain the #defines for tokens, although they are
   included in y.tab.h

2) the parser dies with a syntax error on the first line of input.

These are identical to the problems another person reported to me (who also
tried unix and VMS C).  Apparently this program is supposed to work, but
the version I have does not.  I would greatly appreciate any help one of
you could provide.

I DO NOT read comp.lang.c any more, so your magnanimous efforts will be
wasted if you post here instead of emailing to me ...

Thanks, and now you can go back to arguing about const and volatile ...
