: program to parse that grammar. Bison can be used to develop a wide
: range of language parsers, from ones used in simple desk
: calculators to complex programming languages. Bison is upwardly
: compatible with Yacc, so any correctly written Yacc grammar should
: work with Bison without any changes. If you know Yacc, you
: shouldn't have any trouble using Bison. You do need to be very
: proficient in C programming to be able to use Bison. Bison is only
: needed on systems that are used for development.

: If your system will be used for C development, you should install
: Bison.
