WONDERFUL!!! Many apologies to all, for spreading out-of-date information, I must have an old version of Bison! That only leaves the liciencing problem with Bison-generated programs - But I saw an article recently which suggests this has also changed; is this true? Now I just have to find a way of getting this new version!! Is it generally available yet? Martin
