lex is a 'lexical analyzer generator' and most people use 'flex' instead
of the old lex. You can get flex from your local gnu mirror, see
www.gnu.org for a list of mirrors.

/pub/gnu/flex/flex-2.5.4a.tar.gz seems to be the latest.

lex compatibility is achieved by running flex with the '-l' paramater.
