Yet Another question about lex/yacc.

Hello everybody,


Ever took a close look at the C file produced by the lex/yacc combo? I want
to move that file to a 386 PC under DOS. I've succeeded so far, in that it
compiles and runs correctly. The problem is that its static arrays take up
too much static space (> 13K). A solution has been suggested that I dimension
those arrays. The lex/yacc code produces something like this:


static int yyblah [] = {.....}


If I could force lex/yacc to put a number inside those brackets, the Borland C
compiler will put this data somewhere else (?) and leave me more static space
to play with. Now, how do I do this? I know how to write Unix and EMACS
scripts to accomplish that, but would like to find out if it is possible to do
it "internally", so to speak, i.e. tell lex/yacc to do it for me.


Any thoughts?
