Well, it compiles under 6.0a with Od... (Lately, I don't trust uSoft's
optimization overmuch).  If you're using 6.0 plain, you should definitely
upgrade, it was excessively buggy (6.0a's at least somewhat better).  I
did the yacc portion on our Sun and downloaded the result;  seemed to work
fine.  Did have to do a bit of minor surgery on the makefile for ms-dos,
though.
