problem yacc'ing violaWWW
I don't know. I never compiled it myself... The error is not in gram.y...
Looks like your cc doesn't understand the "#if" preprocessor directive (ANSI).
Try gcc instead.

behavior of ">" and ">>" in line mode browser
Here's a diff on HTBrowse.c to handle this. The line numbers and the
"the_choice" variable will not correspond to your code because they're
from the unreleased 1.2e (soon to become 1.3 on ftp...)
*** 1080,1087 ****
command = (char *) malloc(
strlen(address)+strlen(the_choice)+30);
! sprintf(command,
! "www -n -na -p \"%s\" %s", address, the_choice);
result = system(command);
if (result) printf(" %s returns %d\n", command, result);
free(command);
--- 1080,1087 ----

! sprintf(command, "www -n %s \"%s\" %s",
! HTDiag ? "-source" : "-na -p", address, the_choice);
result = system(command);
if (result) printf(" %s returns %d\n", command, result);
free(command);

rfc: "gateway"
I see your point. However, the only intention of the WWW_foo_GATEWAY syntax
is to enable access to protocols not understood by the www client by means
of a gateway that translates those to/from HTTP/HTML. Ideally, what we need
to be able to fetch RFCs properly is a naming service, x500 or whatever.
Your rfc: access is rather an address alias. For that, you could direct it
to your own HTTP server with WWW_rfc_GATEWAY, and then insert
map rfc: file://ftp.nisc.sri.com/rfc/
in your httpd.conf rule file. But beware that if you start serving HTML
files with rfc: addresses instead of file://host/rfc, every www client in
the world will have to set WWW_rfc_GATEWAY.
