[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] flex for the PC

Porting flex to the PC is not too difficult. The main thing is
changing the names used: MS-DOS hates long names with lots of dots...
The names I used:

  ORIGINAL       SHORT VERSION
  flex.skel      flex.sk
  flex.fastskel  flex.fsk
  flexskelcom.h  flexskco.h
  flexskeldef.h  flexskde.h
  fastskeldef.h  fastskde.h
  scan.c.dist    scan.cdi
  lex.yy.c       lexyy.c     (This is what flex produces)

Other than that, there were no real problems. I used Microsoft C 5.0
and defined SV (the sys-V option). Large memory model works.
