During the next week or so I will try to post the sources to the pd yacc, lex and uupc over the network. The uupc code is called dcp and was originally put out on comp.sources.misc, if I am not mistaken. The code for yacc, lex and prep is public domain and was taken from the decus user group programs of the same name, the work was done by scott guthery, who runs Austin codeworks. The programs lex, yacc and prep are based on the V7 programs and are set up for desmet c compiler. Thanks Don O'Connell

These versions of lex and yacc are *not* public domain. They were submitted to DECUS by someone who had no right to do so. DECUS has since withdrawn that tape. They continue to be circulated by people who do not know, or choose not to know, their provenance. They are stolen goods: do not distribute them. I think that prep is from FSF and is unlikely to be public domain. If this is the case, it may still be distributed as long as the "copyleft" rules are obeyed.
