Hi!

Is there a PD lex for the PC available? I downloaded lex.arc from the simtel
archive from msdos/c, but it seems ancient - no docs, files dated circa 82,
written for something called DeSmet C, and actually talks about bcpl (Wow!
*That's* dated!). In anycase, I tried to make it compile under MSC 6.0, and
it won't work at all. For example, it has code that looks like

 struct some_struct **sp;... sp->some_field = ... /* what is this??! */

In short, pretty useless. Does anyone know of a more current version?

Thanks!

Milan
