*** The original lex, yacc and lint are copyrighted by AT&T, and are not
redistributable without their license.

DO NOT POST COPYRIGHTED LEX, YACC OR LINT SOURCES! ***

However, the Free Software Foundation's "Bison" is a yacc replacement,
and has been ported to the ST.  A version was posted here some months
ago, and can be obtained from various archive sites.

Flex is a "fast lex" and is also publicly redistributable.  It was
written by Vern Paxson (of Lawrence Berkeley Labs?), and is being
included with GNU stuff, although it wasn't written by the FSF.  It,
too, has been ported to the ST and is available in various archives.

I have not seen a "lint" program for the ST, and I suspect that until
the GNU project gets around to writing one there won't be one.


Longish .signature follows.  Skip now, or don't complain.
