1Miscellaneous flex stuff.  The items which have been tested with flex 2.5 are:
2
3	- texinfo/, a subdirectory containing a "texinfo" version of flex(1)
4	  and the corresponding "info" files (contributed by Francois Pinard).
5
6	- VMS/, a subdirectory containing makefiles, configuration files,
7	  run-time support, and installation notes for building flex 2.5
8	  on VMS (contributed by Pat Rankin).
9
10	- Borland/ - makefile and config.h for Borland 4.02 compiler
11	  (contributed by Terrence O Kane, who notes that no source
12	  code changes were necessary).
13
14	- NT/ - Makefile and config.h for NT, contributed by Stan Adermann.
15
16	- OS2/ - Makefile and config.h for building flex under OS/2,
17	  contributed by Kai Uwe Rommel.
18
19	- Amiga/: notes on building flex for the Amiga, contributed
20	  by Andreas Scherer.
21
22	- parse.c, parse.h - output of running yacc (byacc, actually)
23	  on parse.y.  If your system doesn't have a flavor of yacc available,
24	  copy these into the main flex source directory instead.
25
26	- flex.man - preformatted version of flex man page
27
28
29The following have been tested using flex 2.4:
30
31	- debflex.awk, an awk script for anotating flex debug output.
32	  It presently only works with gawk and mawk, not with "old"
33	  or "new" awk.
34
35	- NeXT: ProjectBuilder.app support for use in the NeXT world.
36
37	- Notes on building flex for the Macintosh using Think-C,
38	  in the Macintosh/ subdirectory.
39
40	- testxxLexer.l, a sample C++ program that uses flex's scanner
41	  class option ("-+").
42
43	- fastwc/, a subdirectory containing examples of how to use flex
44	  to write progressively higher-performance versions of the Unix
45	  "wc" utility.  This certainly should work with 2.5, but hasn't
46	  been tested.
47
48	- Borland.old/: notes on building flex 2.4 for Borland C++ 3.1
49	  on MS-DOS.  These shouldn't be needed for flex 2.5.  Included
50	  only in case you encounter unanticipated difficulties.
51
52	- EBCDIC: contact information for building flex for EBCDIC.
53
54
55The following are all out-of-date with respect to flex release 2.4 (and
56in general up-to-date for flex 2.3):
57
58	- Atari/Atari.patches, patches for porting flex to the Atari and
59	  to Minix.
60
61	- A number of notes and Makefiles for compiling flex under MS-DOS,
62	  in the MSDOS/ subdirectory.
63
64	- Notes on building flex for MVS, in the MVS/ subdirectory.
65
66If any of this is out-of-date and can be deleted, please let me know.
67
68And the following is included for compatibility with some broken versions
69of bison:
70
71	- alloca.c, a public-domain, mostly-portable version of the
72	  alloca() routine (used by bison's parsers) written by D. A. Gwyn.
