  There was a PD version of BISON (PC version) floating around Compuserve a
while back.  I thought about downloading it, but halted abruptly when a someone
told me that BISON was buggy and that it produced code which some PC compilers
cannot handle.  Perhaps a newer version of BISON is available now.  Anyway, I
decided to _buy_ a LEX/YACC package.  The target: MKS LEX:YACC.  At least it
runs, produces code and Turbo C 2.0 compiles it without problems.  True, it
did cost $209 (less shipping), but hey!  No bugs (except what I create).
