You can always try FLEX/Bison if you find the table generated by
lex/Yacc is too large for you. I had to port lex/yacc files to a
HP3000 once with only 64K words(?) of addressable memory and the
lex/yacc sucked up too much memory. By replace LEX with flex, the
problem went away....

any smaller than yacc. -John]
