- There are at least two Think C bisons:
-
- nic.switch.ch, software/mac/src/think_c/Bison-1.18.cpt.bin
- maths.tcd.ie, somewhere
-
- If you feel you *must* port a Yacc yourself, port byacc to Think C, I think
- this one has not been done yet (byacc is approximately equivalent to bison,
- but produces license-free parsers).
