I've ported flex to the amiga (also the newest bison).  I've built
several syntax checkers (Ada, C, Pascal) to test them, and they seem
to work well together on the amiga. (I used Lattice 4.1)

They should be on the next batch of Fish Disks, but if you can't wait
let me know.  I've sent flex to comp.sources.amiga, but it will
be months before it's posted.
