I haven't listened to the discussion so far, but if you need a PD lex or yacc
for the ST, there should be no problem. I have heard of a PD yacc called
"bison" (obviously a GNU port) floating around somewhere, and my port of
flex (=lex) appeared in comp.binaries.atari.st only some weeks ago.

There was a newer version of flex in comp.sources.unix recently, and I think
you will have no trouble compiling it on the ST (e.g.,with Sozobon).

If you cannot get at these goodies, feel free to contact me and I will send
you a disk.
