Sure.  You probably missed the LEX+YACC (FLEX+BYACC) development stuff
I posted some weeks back.  That was my own personal attempt to reverse-
engineer exactly what you seem to be asking for.  If you're interested,
I could send you a copy, pkzip/uuencoded.  It's not all that large.  My
stuff has the advantage of functioning the same on both SunOS and MS-DOS,
with minor changes to the makefile and a single header file.  Fully
tested on both the default (K+R) Sun C and the Borland 3.1 C compilers.
