Howdy!  This is my first post, I hope everything goes well.

I'm having problems getting the port of GNU BISON (ftp'd from the ter-
minator  archive)  to  work.  Every time I run it with a valid grammer
(one that works on YACC) I get two bombs.  I'm using gulam,  and  have
set  the  envionment  variables "BISON_HAIRY" and "BISON_SIMPLE".  I'd
recently heard that bison doesn't like CR-LF, so I tried gulam's  "ue"
to  make  the file, and even wrote a small prog to strip out the CR's.
No dice.

I have a 1040, tried it with and without a ram-disk, tried it from the
desk top, and tried it with no input file (BISON told me I hadn't sup-
plied a input file and exited correctly).

I thought it might have been a malloc problem or something  similar  &
tiddled  around with the source for a while, but when I finally got it
to re-compile on Sozobon, it seemed to have the same problem.

So what I was wondering was whether anyone has BISON working for them,
does  it  take  more than a meg (?!?), and could my problem be CR-LF's
that I haven't properly removed?  Any replies would be greatly  appre-
ciated.  Oh, and thanks in advance.
