The bison binaries in general distribution choke on carriage returns in
a text file. I have a new version almost ready which does not, and I
will probably post it to comp.binaries.atari.st in a week or two. Until
then, just strip the \r out of your files before running them through
bison. Good luck!

ps. I have posted MiNT versions of dvi2tty and less 97, and they should
be showing up in your comp.xxx.atari.st newsgroups as soon as these
things usually happen.
