It depends on what you mean by "updated". The usual answer is the sourceforge project. It's not exactly an "update", since it breaks existing applications, and its maintainer is unwilling to address those problems. Debian for instance has old/new versions. I don't use either - see http://invisible-island.net/reflex/ (earlier this year, Baptiste Daroussin suggested some additional changes to this version, along the lines of the ones I incorporated into byacc). --=20 Thomas E.
