Metzger) Organization: Compilers Central Lines: 14 Approved: compilers@esegue.segue.bos.ma.us Many people are mentioning useful changes to Yacc that they can't distribute because of AT&T copyrights. Why not just make the changes to Bison, the Free Software Foundation copylefted Yacc clone (which generates slightly better parsers besides) and allow your improvements to be generally distributed? I am sure that Stallman & Co. at FSF will be happy to distribute any usefull contributions that people have made. Perry [From perry@snark.bellcore.com (Perry E.
