                 Henry Spencer's regex library v3.8alpha
                 

                  ported by Reuben Thomas (rrt@sc3d.org)

This is a port of Henry Spencer's regex library, which provides POSIX regexs,
plus a few extensions. The library is in the o directory, the docs in docs,
the include file in h, and the source in src. The source didn't have to be
altered to compile, but I had to hack the Makefile around a bit, because the
mkh shell script couldn't be run.


License


BSD-like; see doc.COPYRIGHT.


Installation


Copy the library and include file to a suitable place (I keep them in !clib.o
and !clib respectively).


Usage


See the docs. If you're not a developer looking to use POSIX regexs, you
probably shouldn't be trying to use this package.


Improvements and bugs


Please tell me about problems; they're almost certainly mine rather than
Henry's.


Acknowledgements


The library is Henry Spencer's; credit is also due to the nice folks who
packaged it up for distribution, and to the porters and authors of the
various free compiler tools for RISC OS.
