Items of note in the new version:


o The C++ output is much cleaner, more complete and compiles with more
        C++ compilers.


o A number of minor bug fixes have been made.


o We improved the genmk program.


o Line numbers are now tracked when using infinite lookahead.


o The standard release now includes a Mac port.

                                  everest.ee.umn.edu (128.101.144.112)


in the directory:


                                  pub/pccts


[NOTE: we no longer use marvin.ecn.purdue.edu for the ftp site.]


Those with only email access mail send:


                                  mail -s 'email install' pccts@ecn.purdue.edu
                                  mail -s 'email one.c' pccts@ecn.purdue.edu

Note that non-UNIX users will have to get files install.unbag.reqd and
unbag.c in addition. See the README file. The makefile has explicit
stuff for a variety of compilers for PC's. A makefile.VMS file is
also included for ANTLR and DLG. Also, we now have a makefile.mpw file.
