I received a ton of mail about the name, ZOO, which is of course used by a
well-known archiever. I replied to most, and also passed a note to Bob,
but our views somehow were the same: take it, and call it *whatever* you
like: I call it NACC for Non-ATT-Compiler-Compiler. Try calling it YACC
for example. Bob tells me that ZOO's original name was ZEUS.
The point is folks, a ROSE is a ROSE by any other name. Take it, and
enjoy it. If you find bugs, we certainly will know what to patch.
