Yeah, how about YACC?  (sorry, I couldn't contain myself)  Check
out Mortice Kern Systems (MKS) who produces both YACC and LEX for
the PC under DOS.  In fact, they produce a lot of nice things that
make DOS look a little more like UNIX (like vi, egrep, ctags, ksh,
etc.).

I don't have the address with me, but they advertize in places like the
C User's Journal (available at better bookstores, everywhere).  If
you need, email me and I'll get you their address.

There's also the free LEX_YACC.ARC, in Simtel20 in the PD1:<MSDOS.TXTUTL> 
directory.  It emits Turbo Pascal 4+ code, rather than C, and seems to work
pretty well.  It also has nice documentation.

Well, how about GNU BISON (a replacement for LEX+YACC)?  Available
from prep.ai.mit.edu, just compile with switched for MS-DOS, and it
generates better code than YACC (even with comments)!
