Yes I checked the bison.simple file for Bison 1.35, this bug is solved
there. And it is working as per my requirement. Thank you.

Today I downloaded Bison 1.87 setup
(http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bison.htm for windows) and
tried, it is also working.

Right now my project and related executable is on CVS. I could easily
put the bison setup on CVS (i.e. bison.exe & bison.simple). But bison
1.87 setup requires may supporting files ( bison.exe and M4.exe, other
supporting files are also required) so I was just thinking before
putting this whole thing on CVS.

Is it possible that I can create a setup just like bison 1.24 or bison
1.35 ? I mean a less number of files to be put on CVS like bison.exe,
bison.simple & m4.exe.

With Best Regards,
