Flex and Yacc

Damn, these tools suck. Flex doesn't have a version for Windows newer than 1997, and will do fun things like #include <iostream.h>, forward-declare Standard classes and use Standard classes before (attempting) to include the correct header. Yacc will call functions without declaring them, implicit-int and other glories of K&R C. I'm just going to write my own parser now. Maybe it'll be slow, maybe it'll be buggy, but hell, it'll at least compile.

I know that I haven't been posting very frequently right now. However, you can feel glad that there are five new posts scheduled to go up over the next five days, and they're good ones, so stay tuned.
