Paulo,

I am on a Mac and I would like to know if anybody has any suggestion on a free software to visualize vcg files resulting from bison output
or convert them to a bitmap file.

 I find graphviz useful for this kind of thing

Hello Derek,
I do know and use graphviz regularly for my graph work but I thought
it only worked with the dot format. Is there a way to convert VCG to
dot or is there a way to open VCG natively which I am not aware of?

It has always struck me that it ought to be possible to write an
awk script to create a workable translation, but I have never tried
to write one.

There do seem to be some tools out there (never tried any of them)

I found yaccviso http://lo-res.org/~aaron/yaccviso/ . It looks directly at the .y file and generates a dot file. It won't compile on your mac without a small change:
