Hello,

  There are two: one is called flex and the other is called bison. Bison
is a yacc clone (on GNU steroids) and flex is a lex clone (also on GNU
steroids). Bison and Flex work with lex and yacc grammars directly when
certain command line options are set. Please read the info manuals that
are a part of the distribution (using the 'info' command or the 'info'
reader in emacs). 

hope this helps,
