hello, Interested in development and history of bison have searched the internet for old versions of bison not in the archive at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/ and collected few found early versions currently on googlecode at http://code.google.com/p/oldbison/
some versions are original and others are modified and available are: bison-1.00, bison-1.01, bison-1.03, bison-1.10, bison-1.11, bison-1.14, bison-1.16, bison-1.19, bison-1.21, bison-1.22 and bison-1.24 to checkout these versions use: svn checkout http://oldbison.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ oldbison-read-only the file version.c is created at Thu Apr 27 17:00:47 1989 with version number 1.01 which is the first bison version with a version number. there are old documents about GNU and bison still available but the source files and mailings seem to have disappeared from servers. now looking for some other old bison parser generator versions like bison-1.04, bison-1.05, bison-1.06, bison-1.07, bison-1.08, bison-1.09, bison-1.12, bison-1.17, bison-1.20, bison-1.23 please email me if you find source of one of these bison versions then it can be added to this archive. also created a recompilation of bison-1.00 which can be compiled on current linux computers and generates a functional parser for fun. Thanks, Tys Lefering
