This is the readme.unx file included in the loucomp.tar.Z file.
The other files in the distribution are the source code files 
in standard C for the TINY compiler and Tiny Machine simulator
as described in the text:

	Compiler Construction - Principles and Practice, by Kenneth C. Louden,
	PWS Publishing Co., 1997.

They are (with very minor variations) all the files as listed in Appendices
B and C of the text.

At the top level are:

     The file you are now reading (readme.unx):

     The sixteen files as listed on page 23 of the text (which are
     used to make the TINY compiler)

     The tm.c source code file for the TM machine interpreter

     The TINY program of Figure 1.4, page 23 (called sample.tny)

     A Makefile for the TINY compiler and TM simulator for the gnu
     make utility (with minor edits this should work for other Unix
     make versions).

There are also two subdirectories: lex and yacc.

The lex subdirectory contains the single file tiny.l
as described in the text on pages 90-91, which can be used to build
a lex/flex version of the scanner.

The yacc subdirectory contains the two files tiny.y and globals.h 
as described on pages 243-245 of the text, which can be used 
to build a Yacc/Bison version of the parser. Note that, due to
the considerable variation among Yacc/Bison versions, these files
will probably need some minor editing in order to get them to
work correctly.

All source code has been tested with the Gnu C compiler and the Sun 
Ansi C compiler (version 2.0), as well as with the Borland 3.0 and 
4.0 compilers. Any Ansi C compiler should be usable to compile 
this code, but there is no guarantee that your favorite compiler 
will work. Nevertheless, if you have a problem, I would appreciate 
hearing about it, and I will respond if I can find a solution.
