In trying to put together perl on xenix I've run into a yacc limit.
Xenix yacc (and yaccL) reserve 5000 bytes for state info, etc. and
perl.y needs about 6500 (as discovered by yacc'ing perl.y on a 68k
box with -v and examining y.output). Does anybody know of a patch
to yacc to reserve more memory for state info? Is there a pd yacc
that will run under xenix? All that failing, is it possible to
break up a yacc source and run the pieces separately (this may
sound dumb but I'm no yacc expert), and if so, how?

To get the huge model, which is what you need, the only change to be made in the yacc source is the addition of "#define HUGE" at the end of "files". Assuming you do not have the source, I would hope that SCO would do this for you, considering, first, how easy it is to make the change, and second, that they should have compiled with the HUGE option in the first place.

Sorry -- I have (proprietary, sorry) source code to yacc, and even HUGE wasn't enough. I had to create a HUMONGOUS size, just a little bigger than huge, to get it to work. Unfortunatly, perl still has bugs. :-( -- Chip Salzenberg UUCP: "{codas,uunet}!ateng!chip" A T Engineering My employer's opinions are a trade secret.
