- This is a port of FLEX to the Atari ST.
-
- FLEX is a PD version of something like lex, the well-known Eunuchs
- utility. Well known in some circles, at any rate; I'm not sure how to
- describe precisely what it does. It's a parser generator, but I don't
- know what the difference is between FLEX and BISON/yacc etc.
-
- At any rate, the thing seems to be pretty straightforward. Build it
- using MAKEFILE; MAKEFILE.OLD is the original.
-
- To run it, you'll want to env vars; FLEX_DEF and FLEX_FAST whose
- values are the default parser skeleton and fast parser skeleton,
- respectively, as:
-
- setenv FLEX_DEF g:\tools\flex\flexdef.skl
- setenv FLEX_FAST g:\tools\flex\flexfast.skl
-
- I had to change some of the file names around to make them short
- enough to fit in the ST's file system. The original names are left
- around in comments in the files.
-
- This version was compiled with GCC 1.23.
-
- That's about it. Enjoy.
