I have it on not one good shread of evidence that it happened this way. Two hippies at Berkely in the early to mid 70's, after a long night of pursuing a checked pharmicutical history, where working in the computer lab when one of the guys felt the night befor was about to make another apperance. He leaned over to his friends desk and put is face it to the trash can and proceeded to see breakfast come back to haunt him. To this his highly enlightned friend stated "Hey man, would you not yacc in my trash can, ooooo, yacc, yea man, they'll never figure that one out." And thus yacc, an otherwise semi-normal bodily function, entered into the UNIX relm and we have been yacc'n ever since. ;-) Well, it could have happend, right? -- Moderators accept or reject articles based solely on the criteria posted in the Frequently Asked Questions.
