man
e.g.
man flex
Also try man flexdoc for flex
info (you may know this as texinfo)
e.g. info bison
You should be able to find information about any GNU package e.g. gcc,
bison, flex, bash.

Language Exploration This is a short set of tutorials & examples run
during a conference (IAP Jan 12 - Feb 2 1996, whatever that is), rather than a
taught undergraduate or postgraduate course. Probably because of that, it
looks very interesting! It looks at Object-Oriented, Functional and Logic
languages, but it also contains some relevant general information.

Various discussions from comp.compiler about language design:
Both flex and bison build more or less out of the box on Windows with
the Visual C++ compiler, or with the Cygnus gcc
(see http://www.cygnus.com).
I've got a port of Flex/BISON on my web pages at
http://www.monmouth.com/~wstreett/lex-yacc/lex-yacc.html
As far as I know, they work fine, lots of downloads, but no complaints to date.

How do I RTFM about gcc/bison/yacc/byacc/lex/flex/sh/csh/ksh/c/sml/...?
man e.g. man gcc
You should be able to find usage information about any package.
Remember that when more pauses you can type e.g.
/-c to cause it to jump to information about -c
Also try man flexdoc for flex
ginfo (you may know this as texinfo)
e.g. ginfo gcc
You should be able to find information about any GNU package e.g. gcc,
bison, flex, bash; bison approximates yacc and byacc, flex approximates lex,
bash approximates sh.
