There is a version of yacc called bison, distributed with GNU emacs.
It is available for anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu in the file
/u2/emacs/bison.tar.Z.  don't know how many problems there would be
porting it to minix.  I will probably try it eventually, if someone
else doesn't get to it first.  Given the usual GNU philosophy on memory
usage (I don't mean that as a criticism, so don't flame) there may be
problems making it work on small machines.  There are rumors of
something called lex2.  I don't know if it's public domain or not.  If
anyone has info on it please let me know.
