In article <3577@yunexus.UUCP> I wrote: >... availability of a truly PD Yacc-compatible LALR >parser generator ZOO was announced by its author Bob Corbett... I received a ton of mail about the name, ZOO, which is of course used by a well-known archiever. I replied to most, and also passed a note to Bob, but our views somehow were the same: take it, and call it *whatever* you like: I call it NACC for Non-ATT-Compiler-Compiler. Try calling it YACC for example. Bob tells me that ZOO's original name was ZEUS. The point is folks, a ROSE is a ROSE by any other name. Take it, and enjoy it. If you find bugs, we certainly will know what to patch. oz -- The king: If there's no meaning Usenet: oz@nexus.yorku.ca in it, that saves a world of trouble ......!uunet!utai!yunexus!oz you know, as we needn't try to find any.
