I have a question about using gnu Flex (Cygnus' win32 port) to lex
files generated on either a Mac or a PC. Can anyone tell me how to
get the scanner to generically match "$" or "\n" as the appropriate
thing for input files originating from _either_ platform? (i.e. one
scanner that understands both).


The flex that I'm using under win32 generates CR/LF code for this
case, and that currently works fine. The problem is in reading files
with only a CR -- it dies quite badly.


thanks,
mike
