	Mark Williams Co. makes a UNIX product for PCs.  It's called
Coherent UNIX.  Supposedly it includes yacc and lex, and alot of other UNIX
"tools" (ie, ls is a "tool", not necessary UNIX, as in "UNIX kernel").

	Coherent also lets one run standard DOS stuff.
	I'm not sure it runs under DOS, or if DOS runs under it.

	It costs $99.95, and requires 10Meg of disk (but then, what UNIX
doesn't?).  They claim it's smaller and faster than System V.

	I don't have the ad handy, but it's in most PC type magazines, and you
can always call them for more info on just the yacc part.  They are down
Lake Cook Road, by Skokie Blvd, in Northbrook.

	You might also try the C User's Group.  If you need more info on them,
call me.
	Hope this helps!  Good luck.
