I have been led to believe that a public-domain version of YACC and/or
LEX exist for the IBM-PC world. If this is the case, could some kind
soul point me in the right direction as to obtaining a copy
(translation: if you have it, could you e-mail me a copy).
I would be eternally grateful for ANY information.

UNIX BISON source exists, and is available via ftp from prep; a PC port under Microsoft C 4.0 is available with source from the PCSI BBS in New York (212-529-0498). This port is SMALL MODEL -- 64K code, 64K data; I fed it the C grammar from the back of Harbison and Steele, first edition, which overtaxed its space. I haven't gotten BISON to work under large model with Turbo C... (boy, have I tried... I will have to beat on it some more :-) Beta for another, much more ambitious LEX rewrite has just been made available via ftp in UNIX source by vern@lbl-{csam,rtsh}.arpa -- he has MS-DOS diffs available, but won't be answering mail until the 27th.

The Austin Code Works 11100 Leafwood Lane Austin Texax 78750 They have GNU-Bison and used to have version Yacc which is around but I remember seeing a message saying it shouldn't be. The LEX they were selling a while back was from DECUS and Univ. of Waterloo. It was NOT Unix lex, albeit powerful. These guys advertise in DDJ and the following. 2. The C users journal/group Box 97 McPherson KS 67460 They have a public domain disk library at $8.00 a pop. They have much the same as 1.
