In answer to a few of the questions posted recently I thought this might
interest some of you. Bix has the following avaliable for downloading:
1) Krabat - the english version fixed by a bix person 2) Emacs3.7 - that
doesn't put on extra crs for each line
(also patched up by a bix person, I think) 3) Yacc - a
version of Yacc for the ST, a port I believe.
I haven't tried any of them out so I don't know if they really solve the
problems as advertised. As for the Yacc, if it is just a port I have
now idea as to its copyright status or PD status.
I am in now way connected with BIX, other than having an account. /billjimomura@lsuc.UUCP (02/15/87)

As for the Yacc, if it is just a port I have I have been using the patched version of MicroEMACS 3.7 and it corrects the double CR problem as advertised. I we have had reports of the Krabat with English translation working correctly. I expect the 'yacc' works as well since it was uploaded, I believe by Jim Kent who is the moderator of the Atari.st conference. I should also note that we have a slightly revised version of the public domain MonST debugger called Monit. The reason for the name change is out of respect for HiSoft's NON-public domain 'MonST' debugger. We don't know if the German program was produced before or after the British program and thus nobody can say for sure whether HiSoft really has the better right to the name, but I requested the name change on the BIX version because the author of the German version had less to lose. He wasn't trying to make money and certainly wasn't paying for advertising, which HiSoft has to do to put bread on the table. Anyway, Monit has the latest translation of the instructions (the first translation had some errors) and I think a couple of patches.
