             QUICK INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING GNU BISON 1.21
                             AMIGA PORT V1.00

This is my port of GNU Bison V1.21.  To install it, copy the executable
"Bison" to somewhere in your path and move the files "Bison.hairy" and
"Bison.simple" to the S:  directory.  I've used this port to compile flex's
parse.y grammar file without problems, so I hope everything is ok.  If you
run into problems running multiple copies of Bison at once (I wonder why
you would want to do this on the Amiga :-), please tell me.  I think that
Aztec's mktemp() functions behaves correctly.  If you're running earlier
versions of the AmigaOS, make sure you have T:  assigned somewhere as this
is the default place for temporary files.

   No amiga-specific functions have been used in the process of porting, so
this program should run under all supported versions of the Amiga Operating
System.  It was compiled on an Amiga 500 Running KS 2.04/WB2.1.

if you have any problems using this Amiga version of "Bison". It was
compiled using Aztec C V5.0.

   This archive contains the binaries necessary to run Bison. For the full
source version, ftp to 

   ftp.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de 

and get the file

   /pub/amiga/gnu/bison121src.tar.z

which includes all *.[ch]-files with Amiga specific changes. 

Contact me to see how we can get the files to you if you don't have ftp
access.

   Enjoy,
