If you still need ayacc & aflex, there is an improved version coming
with the GWenerator at http://sf.net/projects/gnavi/
Both tools compile "out of the box" with GNAT - and probably any Ada
95+ compiler.
Improvements are:
- added functions to track line & column of parsed code
- possibility of setting table sizes without changing the tools
themselves
- the mighty "Syntax Error" indicates line number
- lots of useless "with" or "use" removed in both ayacc & aflex
sources, and other details spotted by GNAT
