Hello world.

I was wondering if anyone out there knows a good tutorial on the use
of lex and yacc to generate a parser.  I understand some things about
how parsers work, but am woefully ignorant about the functioning of
these two programs.  I would like to play with them a bit, but don't
know how to get started.  (the unix man pages were, uh, less than
enlightening, and the programmer docs were almost as bad.  I suppose
that I could learn how to use the programs using this documentation,
but I'd like a slightly more readable tutorial if one is available)

Thanks,
John
