re: flex...

	There was a bug known to the 'flex-dev' team in v2.5.3, whcih caused
them to supposedly *pull* 2.5.3 from the archives until it was/is fixed...

	Essentially, if you are going to install Postgres95, either use
Flex v2.5.2 or grab README.flex from ftp.://ftp.ki.net/pub/postgres95,
which has a patch to v2.5.3 (supplied by Vern Paxson, flex maintainer).
