Ah, that accursed byacc ought to be dragged around the universe by
alien Mr. Potatoe Heads. The yacc you want is on apple.apple.com
in the /pub/dts/mac/hacks directory. Look for something with Bison
in the name. This is Gnu's version of yacc. Flex is binhexed with
it and is Gnu's version of lex. These are both MPW tools. You must
remake the tool so it will get your directory structure straight.
You must also drop their simple and hairy parser templates into
your CLibraries folder. Put an alias for the command bison in 
your startup just like you would for byacc (sic). The command
line to invoke it will look like

bison -o <output file> -y <input file>

For some odd reason, I found I need to put the output file spec
before the input file. And wherever you got that sickly excuse for
yacc called byacc, tell them to kill it and replace it with this
wonderous version.
