Well, I tried this from a different machine and it claimed to post but appears
to have gotten lost in the ether...
I recall a book about writing a compiler using Yacc and Lex. It was oversized
and had a blue cover (light blue if I recall correctly). I seem to recall that
it may have even included 'Yacc' and/or 'Lex' in the title. Could someone
please tell me any of: Author, full title, ISBN number, publisher?
Thanks much.

The book that you are refering to is "Introduction to Compiler Construction with Unix" by Axel T. Schreiner and H. George Friedman, Jr., Prentice-Hall Inc. 1985. ISBN 0-13-474396-2. The book has a lot of code, and not too much theory, and tells more about Lex and Yacc than compilers, but it is a good addition to the library. < dave [Also, on the same topic: -John] From: William J.

This sounds like a book by Arthur B. Pyster, _Compiler_Design_and_
_Construction:_Tools_and_Techniques_, 1988. I looked it up on-line and
so couldn't get the ISBN. It was QA76.6 .P9 1988. It uses lex and yacc
to generate parts of a Pascal compiler. Also talks about code generation
some, but mostly deals with the front end. Hope this helps.
