SYNOPSIS	_____________/crp/scj/yacc  [ <grammar ]
.sp
.ti 0
DESCRIPTION	Yacc converts a context-free grammar into a set of
tables for a simple automaton which executes an LR(1) parsing
algorithm.
The tables are provided in readable form on the standard output
and in b-compiler format on file actn.b; the program
/crp/scj/bpar.b will parse strings using the actn.b file.
.sp
If your grammar is too big for yacc, you may
try /crp/scj/bigyacc,
some of whose size limits are
larger, and others smaller.

FILES		actn.b  	output tables

actn.tmp	temporary storage
.br
Note that these files are created in the invoker's
directory.
The file actn.tmp is only created by /crp/scj/bigyacc
(see above).

undoubtedly other bugs too.
