Hi, This is another, I'm sure very obvious question to those who know. Whats the difference between yacc and Bison, I know "Bison generates C++ compatible code" is this the parser thats produced? Actually I've got very confused after reading a couple of books. Are'nt parser generators supposed to handle any language?.ie Can I write a program in Yacc to translate a simple English-like language to C++ code?(of course with me supplying the routines) Thanks ashwini
