Run `make check' and see Bison checking that it works properly.
That's what I'm referring too: an automated set of tests.

This is certainly good for people willing to understand how it works,
but I'm looking for instruction on `how to use it'.  Without
documentation, it cannot be merged into GNU Bison!

| >3. do you intent to maintain this version of Bison?
| I think you mean if I will keep my job in version 1.49b, As I think
| the best way to merge DR(1) into new versions of Bison is define a
| interface of DR(1) in Bison. So the DR(1) will be the most
| indenpendent as possible. Just only my opinion, and I don't know how
| the Bison is programmed (if somebody defines the new
| implementation.....). So I am here to know about your suggestions.

My question is: once we merge this into the ``real'' Bison, i.e., once
this is put into GNU Bison, do you intent to keep working on it and
fix the bugs if there are?
