+This directory contains the example programs from the manual, and a few
+other things as well. To make all the programs, simply type "make",
+and assuming you have flex and gcc, all will be well.
+
+To build the programs individually, type
+
+ make program_name
+
+For example:
+
+ make expr
+
+
+The subdirectory FILTER contains a collection of the silly filters
+that have appeared on the Internet over the years. The author of the
+flex manual has included them for fun, but does not guarantee they will
+work with flex, or even work at all.
