> Where can I procure this parser generator for Modula-2? North American >source prefered. Leave a phone number, as well as the rest of the stuff. It's not clear what you're asking for. There are three parts to this. To build a compiler, you need a lexical analyzer (LEX, FLEX, or the like) a compiler generator (YACC or Bison, most likely) and the source file that contains the grammar. (I captured the file with the grammar in it, but I understand there are errors.) Since YACC (or Bison, which is a YACC clone) is an old Unix utility and since it generates C source for the compilers, the first places I looked were the usual places I look when I'm trying to find C programs. The Austin Code Works has them ($35 for Bison and BYACC, $25 for FLEX) as does a place called Networks ($30 for Bison, $15 for Flex) at 80-47 88 Road, Woodhaven, NY 11421 (201) 206-0320. They're also available from the C User's Group (2601 Iowa St., Lawrence, KS 66046; 913-841-1631) Bison for MS-DOS is on disk 285 and FLEX is on disk 290. Both are available for $8 each (to nonmembers. $5 for members, but who's going to admit to being a member of the C User's Group on the Modula-2 echo/newsgroup?) The programs are also available on just about any large files BBS. I downloaded my copies locally, but I can't remember just where. (It was either the Phoenix 614-863-9611 or it was Utilities Exchange 614-442-6696. Neither of these BBSes are part of FidoNet.) -- uucp: uunet!m2xenix!puddle!226!20.15!Jon.Guthrie Internet: Jon.Guthrie@p15.f20.n226.z1.fidonet.org
