When flex (Fast LEX) was posted to comp.sources.unix earlier this year, I
grabbed a copy for my amiga. I sent a copy of the program (after porting to 
the amiga (using Manx)) to Fred Fish. This was several months ago. The source
is rather large, so would not be suitable for posting to other than comp.{
source,binaries}.amiga or alt.sources.amiga. I remember having far more 
difficulty with the "amiga" bison (because it generated Lattice-specific
code) than with flex. E-Mail me if you want more info.
