[comp.compilers] increasing start state limit in lex

andrea@mprgate.mpr.ca (11/24/90)

It appears that lex has a upper limit (~16) to the number of 
start states that can be defined.  Is it possible to increase 
this limit ?  How ?

[Use flex, which allows as many start states as you want. Flex itself uses
