-* When was flex born?::
-* How do I expand \ escape sequences in C-style quoted strings?::
-* Why do flex scanners call fileno if it is not ANSI compatible?::
-* Does flex support recursive pattern definitions?::
-* How do skip huge chunks of input (tens of megabytes) while using flex?::
-* Flex is not matching my patterns in the same order that I defined them.::
-* My actions are executing out of order or sometimes not at all.::
-* How can I have multiple input sources feed into the same scanner at the same time?::
-* Can I build nested parsers that work with the same input file?::
-* How can I match text only at the end of a file?::
-* How can I make REJECT cascade across start condition boundaries?::
-* Why cant I use fast or full tables with interactive mode?::
-* How much faster is -F or -f than -C?::
-* If I have a simple grammar cant I just parse it with flex?::
-* Why doesnt yyrestart() set the start state back to INITIAL?::
-* How can I match C-style comments?::
-* The period isnt working the way I expected.::
-* Can I get the flex manual in another format?::
-* Does there exist a "faster" NDFA->DFA algorithm?::
-* How does flex compile the DFA so quickly?::
-* How can I use more than 8192 rules?::
