Subject:	ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU Bison 1.29 uploaded
Reply-To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com

This is a port of GNU Bison 1.29 to MSDOS/DJGPP.


  DJGPP specific changes.
  =======================

  The DJGPP port of Bison offers LFN and SFN support depending on which
  OS it is running. If LFN support is available or not is determinated at
  run time. If LFN support is available (DOS session under Win9X), the
  standard posix file name extensions will be used. These are: y.tab.c,
  y.tab.c++, y.tab.h, y.output, etc. If only SFN support is available
  (plain DOS), then the standard MSDOS short file names will be used.
  These are: y_tab.c, y_tab.h, y.out, etc.

  It must be noticed that starting with Bison 1.29, the parser files,
  bison.simple and bison.hairy, are installed into %DJDIR%/share/bison.
  This is different from all previous versions and ports of Bison. Due
  to this, you **MUST** delete the following lines:

[bison]
BISON_HAIRY=%DJDIR%/lib/bison.hai
BISON_SIMPLE=%DJDIR%/lib/bison.sim

  from your djgpp.env. These lines set the BISON_SIMPLE and BISON_HAIRY
  environment variables to point to obsolete parser files. This must be
  avoided by deleting those entries from the djgpp.env file.

  For futher information about GNU bison please read the info docs.


  The port consists of two packages that can be downloaded from
  simtel.net and mirrors as:
