- here is the fast 'grep/egrep' package sent to comp.sources and u. c. berkeley.
- included are the prerequisite routines developed by henry spencer of
- univ. of toronto -- these are also part of the comp.sources archive.
-
- i've already updated spencer's care package to incorporate three fixes
- which have appeared in the same forum.
-
- the makefiles are configured for bsd 4.3 and sys5 unix.
- they assume that the spencer regexp() is not already in a system library --
- read the makefile comments if this is not the case.
-
- for stock 4.3 sites, apply the diff 'diff.egrep.y.bsd' to the existing
- source in /usr/src/usr.bin/egrep.y and re-make. this adds full support
- for the -i option. the procedure is then:
-
- make
- sh eg.shell # amusement
- make install
-
- ames!jaw
