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. scott henry
