Hi Fred,

Glad to hear your problem was solved. But I just wanted to clarify what
might be a myth about lex & yacc. Unless I'm horribly mistaken, lex and
yacc are not something a user will ever need -- they take their own sorts
of data files and generate C source for a tokenizer and parser. Once that
C source is generated, all you need is to include it in your makefiles.
C++ versions of these tools, "flex++" and "bison," I believe, exist too.

Hey, by the way, can you point me to a good automake/autoconf tutorial?
Thanks:)

Dan
