[net.unix] Lex for IBM PC-AT, is it available?

martin@noscvax.UUCP (Douglas W. Martin) (12/14/85)

    I am looking for a program like lex(1) to run on the
IBM PC-AT under
MSDOS 3.x.  If you know where I can get the software, please
let me know.  If you've tried a lex program on the PC,
I'd be interested in any comments.  Also, if the 
software exists, which C compilers are compatible with it?
Thanks,

The Austin Code Works has both Lex and Yacc (as well as a Lex preprocessor
called "prep") available for very low cost.  I don't have their address
handy, but check places like the small ads in the back of Byte.  The package
is fully compatible with DeSmet C (from C-Ware), and may also work with other
C compilers (Lattice, Microsoft...).

The recent C-kermit distribution (for UNIX systems, primarily) includes
"wart", a public domain lex-like finite state preprocessor.

Since I don't know anything about either of them, I can't speak
to how complete a subset it is.  But it IS free.

Yes, it's included with Xenix.

If you are talking about IBM's PC-AT Xenix, you have to get the
"Software Development System" for an extra $400 (roughly) to get lex.
