Bison is now mostly irrelevant. Bison started out Public Domain. It was then "confiscated" by the FSF, and all changes made since then to it fall under the Copyleft. Berkeley Yacc is a rewrite. From scratch. It is not related to Bison except for the fact that the same author wrote them. Bison is not irrelevant as some of the features added to it are not in byacc (although it's not too difficult to get rid of these features in a grammar, from what I've seen). -- -----------------+ Sean Eric Fagan | "It's a pity the universe doesn't use [a] segmented seanf@sco.COM | architecture with a protected mode." uunet!sco!seanf | -- Rich Cook, _Wizard's Bane_ (408) 458-1422 | Any opinions expressed are my own, not my employers'.
