I work With Michael. The problem is that flex complies under MINIX-PC
version 1.5.10, but crashes due to a serious lack of address space
(64K text, 64K stack and data!?!)


That's what's wrong with flex!


Thanks for any help.

[Ah. Another possibility is the lex and yacc clones described in Holub's
new compilers book, which are available on PC floppy for US$60. They aren't
PD, but the restrictions are not unduly onerous. There's an order card in
the back of the book. -John]
