/* ---------- "Wanted: PC version U*IX LEX" ---------- */
I am trying to write a compiler that will work both in the IBM PC environment
as well as U*IX.  To this end I have a copy of BISON (GNU's version of YACC)
but no lexical analyzer.

I've obtained flex - a p.d. version of U*IX's lex, but have been unsuccesful
in porting it to the ibm.

Therefore, does anyone know of a lexical analyzer that is public domain, and
has most if not all the same functionality as U*IX lex, and where it might
be available?

Thanx!
