+ "GNU Bison, a Yacc-compatible parser generator")
+ (description
+ "Bison is a general-purpose parser generator that converts an
+annotated context-free grammar into an LALR(1) or GLR parser for
+that grammar. Once you are proficient with Bison, you can use
+it to develop a wide range of language parsers, from those used
+in simple desk calculators to complex programming languages.
+
+Bison is upward compatible with Yacc: all properly-written Yacc
+grammars ought to work with Bison with no change. Anyone
+familiar with Yacc should be able to use Bison with little
+trouble. You need to be fluent in C or C++ programming in order
+to use Bison.")
