I am looking for LEX and YACC tools for MPW C 3.0. Anyone have any ideas? I need them FAST! Thanks, -- Lance Ellinghouse Mark V Systems, Ltd. UUCP: ...!hermix!lance ARPA: ucla-an!hermix!lance@ee.UCLA.EDU

(something bounced your mail back, so I'll try replying to the board) I don't know of any pre-built Lex/Yacc tools, but GNU's Bison and Flex are really easy to port. I made a port to LSC in about 3 hours yesterday. That's both of them and a simple Mac interface. Using MPW's command line interface should take less time. Also, Flex and Bison are faster than the Berkley code (which is a pain to port, I tried), and more flexable. Chris ps. If you don't already know, they are available for Anon FTP from gatekeeper.dec.com 128.45.9.52 16.1.0.2 /pub/GNU

On sumex-aim.stanford.edu, in the directory "/info-mac/source/c," you will find "bison.hqx" and "flex.hqx." These are ports of GNU Bison, a yacc emulator, and Vern Paxson's flex, a fast lex emulator. I did the port with MPW C 2.0.2, the tools work fine under version 3.0 of the MPW Shell, and the generated code should be portable enough to withstand any enhancements Apple has made to the C compiler. For those without internet access, a self-addressed stamped mailer and a formatted 800k floppy sent to the address below, along with a note describing what you want, will get you sources and binaries to both tools.

It generates ANSI C source and comes with Apple MPW (no documentation) and an early version of their MACLEX. Also included are complete grammars and such for several flavors of C, ISO Pascal, dBase III, Smalltalk-80, HyperTalk, and more. And all for only $395.
