6-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7    Berkeley Yacc is an LALR(1) parser generator.  Berkeley Yacc has been made
8as compatible as possible with AT&T Yacc.  Berkeley Yacc can accept any input
9specification that conforms to the AT&T Yacc documentation.  Specifications
10that take advantage of undocumented features of AT&T Yacc will probably be
11rejected.

14to contain errors.  Neither the author nor any contributor takes responsibility
15for any consequences of its use.
