CR/LF and AFLEX/AYACC

CR/LF and AFLEX/AYACC

[Kurt Bischoff]

There was a thread related to Ada's handling of carriage returns and 
line feeds in reference to a "FORTRAN scanner".  My idea was that AFLEX
might be used to hide such details and maybe provide a lot of programming
leverage besides.  I got some requests asking where to find AFLEX and AYACC, 
so I'm posting this excerpt from the list of free compilers that appears
each month in comp.compilers.  I don't know much more about these tools
than anybody else--just that they exist ...
