The minimal lex program, "%%", which supposedly copies input to output, in fact exits immediately. 2. Lex is weak on syntax checking. In particular, a null action does strange things and is not diagnosed. The example in the Bell manual page contains a null action that should be a semicolon. 3. Ratfor output has been essentially abandoned, as is documented in the machine-readable lex manual but *not* in the printed V7 manual. 4. The lex library, which should be named libl.a, is in fact named libln.a . Its sources are in the lex source directory, and the makefile there builds it properly.
