Anyone out there using Gnu's Bison? I'd like to use it in place
of yacc but don't know how to make the substitution. Can I still
use lex with it or what? Help or pointers to help would be great.

Thanks in advance

[I've taken a brief look at bison and it appears that by and large you can
feed it the same input language that you would give to yacc.  It uses the
same interfaces, so lex should work as well there as it does with yacc. -John]
