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.

18used in Berkeley Yacc are all either taken from documents available to the
