Isn't it wonderful to finally be able to gather in groups without
worrying that you are putting yourself or others at risk of
serious illness? I'd love to be there, but I'm 600 miles away.

I've been exploring using BNF, Flex and Bison to create compilers and
converters. This technology is so old it's new again: No clear,
complete and unambiguous documentation. The remaining people with this
knowledge are old and unavailable to most people. I'm actually
presenting on the key understandings necessary to begin to learn to
create Flex/Bison compilers and converters at tomorrow's online GoLUG
meeting, and by your Christmas meeting I'll be much farther along. So
if your meeting has a Jitsi or BigBlueButton component, I'd love to
show off Flex/Bison key understandings and brandish some code. 

Thanks,
