PD-YACC may not be what you want, it is what the original ATT Yacc has
been called, and mistakenly distributed under. Perhaps REALLY-PD-YACC ??
:-) or to place credit where it is due, call it CORBETT-YACC.

Yes, I see this has become a problem of such scale, people have been
flaming Bob Corbett, as a way to thank him no doubt. In any case, Bob will
probably name it something else shortly. I have been getting my share of
mail (75 pieces so far, not quite as nasty) for my postings. I had hoped
that in this case, need, PD-ness and functionality will transcend the
name. I admit my naivete.

Now, I have decided to build a "Un*x list of Names" so we can all flame
each other about this name or that, and avoid deadly confusion. :-)
