We recently pulled a lex/yacc package off of wuarchive.wugate.edu.  The
yacc part was byacc (Berkeley yacc).  Included was a MakeFile for MPW C.
Unfortunately, the MakeFile was for an old version of MPW (2.0.2), so
the commands that it produces don't quite work under our system (3.0). 
But
after much tweaking and editing, we finally got everything to compile
and mostly link.  The problem now is that the Code Segment produced
is too big (33286, where the limit is 32760).  Does anyone know how
to get around this? (We generally use Think-C, and our MPW expert
is on vacation.)

Alternatively, does anyone know of any other good PD lex/yacc packages for
the Mac?

Any information will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
