[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] UN*X compatible LEX for PC

erbo@tangello.ucsb.edu (Eric J. Bowersox) (05/18/89)

I'm looking for a version of the popular UN*X software tool 'lex', a lexical
analyzer generator, that will run on the PC.  I've seen the version put out
by DEC Users' Society, but that one isn't completely compatible.  Can someone
point me in the right direction?

I do have access to anonymous FTP, and am running DOS 3.3 on a PClone.
Please reply via e-mail.  Thanks!

	Thought this may be of general interest ..

	flex (free lex) was posted to comp.sources volume 14
	and patches to get flex to work under DOS were posted
	here not too long ago. I will email patches if you are
	interested (about 5K I think). I have not personally
	used flex so I cannot comment. If you need patches
	please give me a good email address (problems resolving
	Internet domains here).
