Re: Bison compatible with yacc/byacc/<whatever>yacc?

[James Buchanan]

Thankyou for that Hans --- I actually wrote the grammar on Windows and put
it on a floppy disk and moved it to my Linux box, because Microsoft's
USELESS compiler Visual C++ 6 refused to compile the output from the flex
and bison ports to Windows.

It is probably the \r\n vs. \n problem? Yes, that must be it.

Thanks!

James Buchanan
