Steve Tinney here at U of M has ported the latest version Bison and Flex to MSDos.

Has anybody else had any luck obtaining FLEX and BISON via FTP from terminator? I have tried twice to obtain FLEX and have had no luck. I used binary format when I FTP'ed the files but I cannot get pkzip to digest them. When I run pkzip on the FLEX.ZIP file pkzip simply hangs indefinitely, no error message just a machine hang which responds to CTL-ALT-DEL. I would appreciate comments from anyone who has had success obtaining FLEX from terminator. This is the first case I have had where an FTP'ed file would not decode. Perhaps the terminator people could verify the integrity of the zip file and report back to the net. Thanks for any responses that may be forthcoming. As always, Dr. G.W.

8ISCLAIMER: Author bears full responsibility for contents of this article. I have successfully retrieved FLEX and BISON from terminator. The problem was in the transfer from the IBM mainframe down to our UNIX(c) network. To save time I uuencoded the zip file and just mailed it to myself. Unfortunately the ugly EBCDIC to ASCII conversion problem seemed to have bitten me. I used kermit to transmit the zip files and all went well. I would like to thank everyone who took a few minutes to reply or to check the masters on terminator. As always, Dr. G.W.
