I recommend that you delete the copies you have made and get a copy of Bison from the Free Software Foundation. It's a yacc clone that you can hack on without violating the AT&T source license your organization signed. Stealing sources from 4.2BSD machines for your micro is a bad idea, and has gotten some people in trouble when they tried to distribute the programs, or when they "leaked out". If you have some sources and you don't know if they are stolen, call +1 800 828 UNIX and tell them about it -- the AT&T Unix Licensing folks. They have a task force that tracks this stuff down and lets you know if it's OK or stolen. Hell, the whole point of Minix is that stealing Unix source is grounds for suit by AT&T. If we could all get a V7 or BSD Unix source tape for $100, you wouldn't see anybody running Minix or GNU!
