Hello,
I am currently developing some test tools and would like to know if yacc
and lex are available for AT style PC's. It would also be acceptable to
transfer the files created by yacc from a Sun to the PC if this is possible.
Any information would greatly be appreciated. If there are any other parser's
available, I would also be interested information about those as well. I do
need the parser to be somewhat portable, the tool may be used on both PC's
and Sun's. The parser, if not yacc, nust be easy to learn and easy to modify
the language defined. Thanks for the help.

MKS sells yacc and lex.

Mortice Kern Systems (519-884-2251) sells a PC version of YACC and Lex. Also, I have seen a GNU version of YACC (called Bison?) and Lex floating around on BBS's.

The find the answers to questions like these, check the software catalogs from vendors who market to programmers, like "Programmer's Connection". These vendors advertise where you would expect them to, in rags like: (_Computer Language_, _Dr. Dobb's Journal_) that most PC software developers read. For example, Programmer's Connection Spring 1990 catalog lists "MKS LEX and YACC" by MKS (Mortice Kern Systems) for $198 ($249 list) on page 106. So go grab yourself a recent copy of _CL_ or _Dr.D_ and start punching those 800 numbers. If you want to take your chances with unsupported software, you can anonymously ftp to wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4) and check the collection there. A quick grep of the file listing for the string "yacc" shows some possibilities: mirrors/msdos/txtutl/lex_yacc.arc mirrors/unix-c/languages/berk-yacc.tar-z Oh, and please: when you cross-post to local newsgroups, please insert a Followup-To: line in your header redirecting followups to the right place. Most people who read comp.lang.c can't followup to your local newsgroups. -- Dan Mocsny Snail: Internet: dmocsny@minerva.che.uc.edu Dept. of Chemical Engng.

Supposedly it includes yacc and lex, and alot of other UNIX "tools" (ie, ls is a "tool", not necessary UNIX, as in "UNIX kernel"). Coherent also lets one run standard DOS stuff. I'm not sure it runs under DOS, or if DOS runs under it. It costs $99.95, and requires 10Meg of disk (but then, what UNIX doesn't?). They claim it's smaller and faster than System V. I don't have the ad handy, but it's in most PC type magazines, and you can always call them for more info on just the yacc part. They are down Lake Cook Road, by Skokie Blvd, in Northbrook. You might also try the C User's Group. If you need more info on them, call me. Hope this helps! Good luck. Phil Reinemann

Alan Holub's book "Compiler Design in C", Prentice-Hall, ISBN 0-13-155151-5 includes descriptions of Lex and Yacc lookalikes. To quote from the book, "All of the source code in this book--along with executable versions of LeX, LLama, and occs--is available on disk from: Software Engineering Consultants P.O.Box 5679 Berkeley, CA 94705 +1 (415) 540-7954 The software is available right now for the IBM-PC and UNIX. ... The cost is US$60 by a check or money order drawn on a US bank. ... The UNIX USENET network is the official channel for bug fixes and general discussion of the material in this book. The comp.compilers newsgroup should be used for this purpose." My only connection with all of this is that I bought a copy of the book. -- The problem about real life is that moving one's knight to QB3 may always be replied to with a lob across the net. --Alasdair Macintyre.
