Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU bison 1.33 uploaded
Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com

This is a port of GNU Bison 1.33 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.
  For futher information about GNU bison please read the info docs and
  NEWS file.


  For users that are seriously interested in using bison, an upgrade
  to this port is seriously recommended.  It fixes a DJGPP specific bug
  in the command-line parsing code of the DJGPP port of bison 1.32.
  This bug has produced a program crash (SIGSEGV) for certain combination
  of command line options.
  Please do **NOT** mix skeleteon files, these are bison.simple and bison.hairy
  from previous ports with this new one. This would lead to errors that can not
  be reproduced by me.  Make a clean deinstallation of the previuos port and
  then install this new one.  Only for the convenience of the users, the port
  of bison 1.32 has been fixed too (timestamp: 2002-02-20).  Neitherless, due
  to bison specific improvements, the use of bison 1.33 is highly recommended.
  Please also note that the testsuite will only work if LFN are available.


  The port consists of two packages that can be downloaded from
  simtel.net and mirrors as (timestamp: 2002-02-20):
