I know that it did not compile under Turbo C 1.0 (an ancient version) because the large switch statement produced by yacc/bison caused Turbo C to run out of memory. I haven't tried it under the latest Turbo C++ 1.0, although I imagine that it still won't compile (I used Turbo C++ to compile the output from yacc, and Turbo C++ still ran out of memory). -- Darryl Okahata UUCP: {hplabs!, hpcea!, hpfcla!} hpnmd!darrylo Internet: darrylo%hpnmd@hp-sde.sde.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion or policy of Hewlett-Packard or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
