        !            31: .Nm Eyacc
        !            32: is an old version of
        !            33: .Xr yacc  1  ,
        !            34: which produces tables used by the Pascal system and its error recovery
        !            35: routines.
        !            36: .Nm Eyacc
        !            37: fully enumerates test actions in its parser when an error token
        !            38: is in the look-ahead set.
        !            39: This prevents the parser from making undesirable reductions
        !            40: when an error occurs before the error is detected.
        !            41: The table format is different in
        !            42: .Nm eyacc
        !            43: than it was in the old
        !            44: .Xr yacc 1 ,
        !            45: as minor changes had been made for efficiency reasons.
