                     10: DESCRIPTION    Yacc converts a context-free grammar into a set of
                     11: tables for a simple automaton which executes an LR(1) parsing
                     12: algorithm.
                     13: The tables are provided in readable form on the standard output
                     14: and in b-compiler format on file actn.b; the program
                     15: /crp/scj/bpar.b will parse strings using the actn.b file.
                     16: .sp
                     17: If your grammar is too big for yacc, you may
                     18: try /crp/scj/bigyacc,
                     19: some of whose size limits are
                     20: larger, and others smaller.

                     26: .br
                     27: Note that these files are created in the invoker's
                     28: directory.
                     29: The file actn.tmp is only created by /crp/scj/bigyacc
                     30: (see above).

                     38: one can be obtained in each run.

                     42: is 50 each, and this is not checked.  There are
                     43: undoubtedly other bugs too.
