Ouch!!!  John Gilmore has informed me that the so-called "PD yacc" which I
pulled off of the net a couple of months ago is in fact poorly-disguised
AT&T code!!!  So, for everyone out there who received copies from me (there
must be at least 5 or 6 or you out there), please, Please, PLEASE destroy
your copies as I have destroyed mine!!! <-- is that enough "!"s ?

John (gnu@hoptoad.UUCP) also was kind enough to point out that GNU has put
together a truly original yacc implementation called "bison" which may be
distributed freely (it is _not_ in the public domain).

Thanks, and sorry for the mess.

-Rich
