Guido van Rossum 248a50c168 * Grammar: corrected old typo (class instead of 'class')
* dosmodule.c: MSDOS specific stuff from posixmodule.c.
* posixmodule.c: removed all MSDOS specific stuff.
* tokenizer.h, parsetok.h: in prototypes, don't mix named and unnamed
  parameters (MSC doesn't like this).

# Grammar for Python
# Change log:
# 30-Nov-93:
# Removed lambda_input, added lambdef
# 25-Oct-93:
# Added lambda_input
# 18-Oct-93:
# Use testlist instead of exprlist in expr_stmt
# Add exec statement
# 19-May-93:
# Add access statement
# 18-May-93:
# Abolish old class header syntax
# 06-Apr-92:
# Use only '*' for varargs list
# 31-Mar-92:
# Tighten syntax for try statements
# 27-Feb-92:
# Allow NEWLINE* after eval input
# 16-Jan-92:
# Added '*' as alternative for '+' in varargs syntax
# (Not sure which alternative is better yet.)
# 11-Jan-92:
# Variable length argument list syntax added: def f(a, b, +rest): ...
# 8-Jan-92:
# Allow only '==' for equality testing
# Changes since version 8:
# Trailing commas in formal parameter lists are allowed
# Changes since version 7:
# New syntax to specify base classes (but old syntax retained for now)
# 'global' statement (valid only in functions but not enforced here)
# Changes since version 6:
# Add logical operators '|', '^', '&' and '~'
# Add shift operators '<<' and '>>'
# Changes since version 5:
# Comparison operators '<=' '>' '<>' are now 1 token
# Also support '!=' and '==' as alternatives for '<>' and '='
# Changes compared to version 4:
# Blank lines and lines only containing a comment are now eaten
# by the lexer, so the NEWLINE* things in suite are gone
# (but the 2nd NEWLINE terminating single_input stays!)
# Semicolons can separate small statements
# 'continue' statement
# Dictionary constructors: {key:value, key:value, ...}
# More tests instead of exprs
# Changes compared to version 3:
# Removed 'dir' statement.
# Function call argument is a testlist instead of exprlist.
# Changes compared to version 2:
# The syntax of Boolean operations is changed to use more
# conventional priorities: or < and < not.
# Changes compared to version 1:
# modules and scripts are unified;
# 'quit' is gone (use ^D);
# empty_stmt is gone, replaced by explicit NEWLINE where appropriate;
# 'import' and 'def' aren't special any more;
# added 'from' NAME option on import clause, and '*' to import all;
# added class definition.
# Start symbols for the grammar:
# single_input is a single interactive statement;
# file_input is a module or sequence of commands read from an input file;
# eval_input is the input for the eval() and input() functions.
# NB: compound_stmt in single_input is followed by extra NEWLINE!
