What is Bison? To paraphrase from the Introduction in the Bison manual:
Bison is a general-purpose parser generator that converts a grammar 
description into a C program that parses that grammar.  It can be used to 
develop a wide range of language parsers, from those used in simple 
desk calculators to complex programming languages.

Changes from the previous port (Bison 1.25):

* When in a LFN environment, 'bison -y' will now 
output 'y.tab.c' and 'y.tab.h'. 'y_tab.c' and 
'y_tab.h' are still output when not in an LFN 
environment or when 'LFN=N'.

* Compiled with gcc 2.95.2 and linked with the 
DJGPP 2.03 library.

Happy downloading,
Mark
