Can anyone point me at a version of Unix lex that will run on Linux?

[I wouldn't hold my breath. Perhaps someone has a retrocomputing
Vax or PDP-11 that can run an antique lex and then you can use the
output. Or maybe it might be easier to dig into the ugly lex
application and figure out what it's doing to the insides of
the old lex scanner. -John]
