This is release 2.5 of flex.  See "version.h" for the exact patch-level.See the file "NEWS" to find out what is new in this Flex release.Read the file "INSTALL" for general installation directives.  Peek nearthe beginning of the file "Makefile.in" for special DEFS values.  On mostsystems, you can just run the "configure" script and type "make" to buildflex; then "make check" to test whether it built correctly; and if it did,then "make install" to install it.If you're feeling adventurous, you can also issue "make bigcheck" (beprepared to wait a while).Note that flex is distributed under a copyright very similar to that ofBSD Unix, and not under the GNU General Public License (GPL), except forthe "configure" script, which is covered by the GPL.Many thanks to the 2.5 beta-testers for finding bugs and helping test andincrease portability: Stan Adermann, Scott David Daniels, Charles Elliott,Joe Gayda, Chris Meier, James Nordby, Terrence O'Kane, Karsten Pahnke,Francois Pinard, Pat Rankin, Andreas Scherer, Marc Wiese, Nathan Zelle.Please send bug reports and feedback to: Vern Paxson (vern@ee.lbl.gov).The flex distribution consists of the following files:	README		This message	NEWS		Differences between the various releases	INSTALL		General installation information	COPYING		flex's copyright	conf.in, configure.in, configure, Makefile.in, install.sh,		mkinstalldirs			elements of the "autoconf" auto-configuration process	flexdef.h, parse.y, scan.l, ccl.c, dfa.c, ecs.c, gen.c, main.c,	misc.c, nfa.c, sym.c, tblcmp.c, yylex.c	 			source files	version.h	version of this flex release	flex.skl	flex scanner skeleton	mkskel.sh	script for converting flex.skl to C source file skel.c	skel.c		pre-converted C version of flex.skl	libmain.c	flex library (-lfl) sources	libyywrap.c	initscan.c	pre-flex'd version of scan.l	FlexLexer.h	header file for C++ lexer class	flex.1		user documentation	MISC/		a directory containing miscellaneous contributions.
