I thought I had already posted a query but alas - I cannot find it. Forgive me
if this is redundant.
I have been using PCBISON.ARC with great success. This is a port of BISON to
MSDOS by
some UC Berkley Grad Students who - apparently - are no longer accessible by the
net
addresses they have in the read.me files.
It appears that the original version of PCBISON.ARC had the source in it and
someone - perhaps
they were short on disk space - removed the source and repacked the file.
(Incidently, is this illegal?) I would love to have the source to a port of
MSDOS BISON.
I tried porting my source to a version that executes on VMS. After reaching a
point where the
source code would compile on both TURBOC and VAXC with no errors - I though I
was done. However, the VAX/VMS version worked and the TURBOC version executed a
'berror("edge...")' statement and terminated it. Hmmm... And they tell me the
big selling point of C is portability...
Anyway, can someone tell me how to get verion of BISON that works on MSDOS?
(Incidently, I stumbled accross TCBISON.ARC. This has source - but I cannot
make it work).
