I'm not trying to sell them. I want to have a meeting where I can finally get some questions about SCT answered face to face, and we discuss it. I suggested that I teach Lex and Yacc, using Perl as a tool to teach them, to fill some of the time and do something useful with myself. And it's a demo not a lecture. I'm not going to fill a two hour lecture explaining a technical tool such as Lex and Yacc. O'Reilly can fill a book about those two, but I have more exciting things to do. I just see it as an absurd thing that the SCT configurator is still not written using Lex and Yacc and that those tools can make it so much simpler and easier to understand. as for something for Haifux itself - it might have a point. you just need to check first how many people already know lex and yacc usage in C, due to the mandatory 'compilation theory' CS course - it might be not that easy finding a common background for the possible audiance, but its do-able. Like I said, I'm not so interested in Lex and Yacc to present a lecture on them. I'm just trying to evanglize for our pet project. Let me know if it's needed and if people wish to hear about it.

If you put it that way - sounds great! Do you want to schedule it as part of the next meeting, or as a special meeting? either way, I'm game.

But my incenitive for giving a demo is also to make sure people learn Lex and Yacc and how easy it is to use them. You don't really have to read the Dragon book in order to use them. I know I grokked them, with only having an intuitive conception of it.
