There exists a thorough discussion of YACC and LEX, as well as a useful
example of how to use them in a _real_ sense (not one of those trivial
examples we sometimes see) in a book recently published by Prentice-Hall.

Unfortunately, I do not have it in front of me, so the title is from memory:

    "Introduction to Compiler Construction Tools for UNIX"

It was stumbled upon at a B Dalton Bookstore down here.  I recommend it.
It even goes so far as to recommend changes to yacc.par.
For those of you who have yacc's that generate output without using
a yacc.par file (like Ultrix), I have a context diff which does the
same things.
