On simtel20 and other sites there are copies of flex and bison for the
PC.  Flex is a replacement for lex and bison is a replacement for
yacc.  There is a restriction on the use of bison-generated scanners,
though.  Otherwise they are free.  I understand that there is a public
domain and unrestricted yacc on a Berkeley distribution, but I don't
know of a port to the PC.
