  44     (description
  45      "Bison is a general-purpose parser generator that converts an
  46 annotated context-free grammar into an LALR(1) or GLR parser for
  47 that grammar.  Once you are proficient with Bison, you can use
  48 it to develop a wide range of language parsers, from those used
  49 in simple desk calculators to complex programming languages.
  50
  51 Bison is upward compatible with Yacc: all properly-written Yacc
  52 grammars ought to work with Bison with no change.  Anyone
  53 familiar with Yacc should be able to use Bison with little
  54 trouble.  You need to be fluent in C or C++ programming in order
  55 to use Bison.")
