This is a new release of byacc. The difference between this version and the prior
version, released a couple of days before, is that a command-line option is used
instead of an environment variable to allow the user to control the file names
used by byacc on LFN systems.
The use of an command-line option instead of an environment variable should make
it easier to write Makefiles that will work on *any* DJGPP installation.
The goal of this release is to make the file names used by byacc, when running
on Win9X with LFN support available, more similar but not identical to the file
names used by bison 1.28. For this purpose, this version of byacc introduces
the new command-line option `-s'. This variable allows the user to control the
type of file names that byacc will create when LFN support is available.
On Win9X with LFN support available the following applies:
1. If `-s' has *NOT* been specified then the following names will be used:
y.tab.h
y.tab.c
y.code.c
y.output
2. If `-s' has been specified then the same names as on plain DOS will be used:
y_tab.h
y_tab.c
y_code.c
y.out
On plain DOS or on Win9X without LFN support the `-s' option is ignored.
