This is a port of Flex 2.4.7 for the Acorn Archimedes and Risc PC systems.
Please note that scanners generated using this port of flex do not have the
ability of the original to determine whether they are running on an
interactive terminal. I have no idea what difference this makes, but I
thought I ought to tell you :-)
This version was ported and tested on an A5000 running RISC OS 3.10 so I
can't guarantee that it will run on anything else, but there's no reason
why it shouldn't.
For information on flex and what it does, see the information in the docs
directory. This contains the Un*x manual pages in [nt]roff format and the
flex manual in texinfo format.
The flex/skl file supplied with this release does not actually need to be
installed to use the software, as the software has its own compiled in
version of the file. I have only supplied it for reference purposes, and
in case you need to modify it.
The library libfl supplied contains default routines for main() and yywrap()
which you can use if you like.
