OK, gents, two birds with one stone! :-)

There is a yacc-compatible program called bison available from simtel20.
(You wouldn't believe how long it took me to get the yacc vs. bison joke,
I wondered for a couple of weeks, "gee, 'bison', that's a weird name for
a program".  Duh!)

Anyway, this little gem is available on simtel20 and mirror sites.  On
simtel20, its in disk PD1 in directory <MSDOS.TXTUTL> and the filename
is BISON-2.ARC

Hope this helps.
