Re: Allegro's version of yacc

[I answered the same query you sent to [email protected]... did you
 get that reply?]

The Allegro version of yacc is not based on cl-yacc.  It is a
completely new implementation of written by Steve Haflich, based on
work he first did in the late 1980's.

An Allegro CL 8.0 patch is available that changes the name of the
`yacc' package to `excl.yacc' to avoid the conflict with the CL-YACC
package of the same name.

There is currently no documentation for our yacc, which was released
some years ago to support our new regular expression package.  We hope
to document it sometime in the future.
