The problem is most people today misspell `yacc' as `bison'. 98% of the uses of `bison' would work just fine if the author used `yacc'. The problem is "All the World's Linux". I really wish the Linux vendors would add a link from bison to yacc. Then we probably wouldn't have most of the problems. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
