I have modified the lexing tool JLex, to compile correctly under Java
1.4. The JLex tool was developed by Elliot Berk at Princeton
University. It is now maintained by C. Scott Ananian. The home page
for JLex is at:

I have placed my modifications at:


      http://a1.cs.ua.edu/cs614/Main.java


This was an incredibly simple change---a global rename of the function
assert to assertTrue---but the error messages without the changes
caused my students a bit of consternation.


I hope I haven't stepped on any one's toes here, but my attempts to
reach the maintainers did not succeed.
