Of course, the mystifying "only time it worked" was when I had changed it by hand -- by initializing it in the source and recompiling. I am not patching because I don't have the source; it's just a quick way of setting the debug flag in a yacc-produced parser without having to recompile it or alter the code to have a command-line switch. Thanks again, Richard Silverman arpa: rsilverman@eagle.wesleyan.edu Computing Center bitnet: rsilverman@wesleyan Wesleyan University CIS: [72727,453] Middletown, CT 06457
