I have been trying to port khoros 1.05 to 386bsd.  I have used the porting
information posted in the contrib directory on pprg.eece.unm.edu for bsdi.
Most of the system functions well, but I can't get xprism(2-3) to work.
They seem to be struggling in the parsing routines for input functions.
Usually i get a segmentation error, with or without a core dump.  I am
taking a guess in that the posted fixes in going from lex to flex are buggy
but I know as much about lex and yacc (even after reading the nutshell book)
as i did about P-chem when I was an undergrad.

Has anyone done this?  I would appreciate any help.  I am hoping to more
end-use than re-design.  

Thanks
