Lex wurde von Mike Lesk entwickelt und ist Teil des POSIX Standards. Gehört also zu so ziemlich jeder Unix-Distribution dazu.

Mike Lesk, Professor an der Rutgers University, hat neben lex auch das unverzichtbare grep entwickelt, welches, wie wir sehen werden, bei näherer Betrachtung sehr mit lex verwandt ist.

Weitere Beiträge zur Unix-Gemeinschaft von Mike Lesk sind beispielsweise uucp (Dateiübertragung, Verwandter von ftp), tbl (Tabellen-Formatierer für troff, der Layoutengine von man), refer (für Bibliographische Referenzen in groff) und noch ein paar andere Tools.

Dear Parts Center!

Sony Sales doesn't send to Europe but told me, that you might. I'm trying to hunt down a USB Cradle (UC55) for my Clie TH-55 for about 2 month now and hope that you can send me one of those.

Please tell me, what kind of further informations you need from me to get one of those.

My Sony Style Incident Number is XXXXX, if this matters to you.

By the way, I am from Austria and my phone number is XXXXX. Your form doesn't support longer numbers...

Thank you // Rene C. Kiesler!

Thank you for your answer.

How exactly would you suggest that I get such a device? It's sold out in whole of europe, I don't know any one in US and there doesn't seem to be any shop left which would have it and send it as well.

Sony America has it but doesn't ship outside US. Sony Japan has it but doesn't ship outside Japan.

I'm clueless, please help!

Regards // René C. Kiesler!

...womit wir wieder am Anfang wären, auf sony.net gibt's nämlich schlicht einen Link auf Sony Österreich und das DAPC versendet nicht außerhalb Amerikas...
