+byacc (Berkeley Yacc parser generator)
+
+Berkeley Yacc is an LALR(1) parser generator. Berkeley Yacc
+has been made as compatible as possible with AT&T Yacc. Berkeley
+Yacc can accept any input specification that conforms to the AT&T
+Yacc documentation. Specifications that take advantage of
+undocumented features of AT&T Yacc will probably be rejected.
+
+Please note that this will install the executable as byacc, in
+order not to conflict with the bison package that ships with Slack
