Just for the record, the incompatibility (only one, right? :-) ) between yacc and bison is still there. Namely, the sequence of commands: bash$ for i in a b; do bash> echo $i bash> done `done' is not a valid identifier. happens like this if I use yacc, but works just fine if I use bison. This occurs on: a Vax running 4.3 a Decstation 3100 running Ultrix pretending to be a Vax running Bsd a Tektronix 4317 running Utek 4.0 pretending to be a Sun3 running Bsd Oh, note that there seems to be some problems using the Sun3 configuration for the Tek workstation, but I have yet to look at it closely. One possibility is that it should pretend to be running sunOS3 instead of Bsd, but I am writing a thesis (honest :-) ) so I haven't much time to play with such things. AND, note that previous bug involving xterm occured on more than one machine. (Yes, I check these things....)
