I have heard that scanner generators and parser generators exist that generate Ada code (I heard they were called AYACC and ALEX). I would like to use these, but have not been able to locate the proper archive that they are stored in. Could someone please let me know the EXACT archive/directory/files these are stored in? Thanks you so much for any help you can provide Michael ----------------------- schwartz@pogo.den.mmc.com "Expect everything ... mschwartz@mmc.com and the unexpected never happens." ncar!dinl!schwartz --the phantom tollbooth DISCLAIMER: The opinions expressesed are not necessarily those of my employer or myself. -- ----------------------- schwartz@pogo.den.mmc.com "Expect everything ... mschwartz@mmc.com and the unexpected never happens." ncar!dinl!schwartz --the phantom tollbooth DISCLAIMER: The opinions expressesed are not necessarily those of my employer or myself.

These are NOT archived anywhere except at UCI. An incorrect posting several
weeks ago suggested they were ftp-able, but this was corrected by a UCI guy
(John Self) a few messages later.
UCI requires a license agreement, and a $75. check. We ordered this last
year and waited MONTHS (yes, MONTHS) for the tape. John Self and the
other technical guys I spoke to were very helpful, but UCI apparently
has the kind of insufferably slow bureaucracy characteristic of universities
and government agencies.

After all the complaints from people about our distribution method we've finally confronted bureaucracy and WON! We will be distributing aflex and ayacc via FTP, without a signed license agreement, but with the requirement that you get it directly from us and send us a message saying you have retrieved it. This should all be set up in the next week or two. I just received official UC clearance to make it available today, and now I have to get the FTP set up and put copyright notices in all the files. I will post a message here (in comp.lang.ada) giving details of how to retrieve the sources when I have everything set up.
