:files for lex or yacc. Usually I think it's a good thing to have
:scanners and parsers generated automagically, but I seem never to be
:able to use files written for lex with flex. (Yes, I DO change the
:library to -lfl!) There are always quite some undefined symbols.
I encounter problems going from lex -> flex on just about any system that
has it. One of the main incompatabilites I have is the yyless() function. If
someone has a decent lex package for linux, would they please post where to
find it? If not, is there a flex equivelent for yyless()?
