Hi,

This is a bit off topic, but I just had a "Wow!" moment when I realized that 
the Eric Schmidt who wrote Lex at Bell Labs is the same Eric Schmidt who is now 
CEO of Google:

Don't you just hate those super smart over achievers? C'mon Eric slack off a 
bit and give the rest of us a chance to catch up :-)

The newer versions of lex and yacc are called flex and bison. They've 
been part of every Red Hat Linux release I've worked on (3, 4, and 5). I 
imagine they're part of most Linux installations. I'm current in these 
tools.
