- REC - or Regular Expression Compiler - has been used in
- Mexico for some 20 years. Through the kind assistance of Dr.
- Harold V. McIntosh of the Microcomputer Applications Group at the
- Universidad Autonoma de Puebla in Puebla, Mexico, SIG/M has
- obtained a copy of REC. It is being released on four volumes.
-
- Volume 1 (SIG/M 164) contains the Source Code for CP/M 80
- and CP/M 86 versions of REC. Volume 2 (SIG/M 165) contains the
- source code and compiled CP/M 80 and 86 utilities written with
- REC. Your editor has some difficulty compiling REC80 and
- Professor McIntosh provided on Volume 3 (SIG/M 166) a compiled
- version of REC80 and 86. (If you compile REC80 with M80 you will
- get an error because RECLIB allows linking into REC of FORTRAN,
- BASIC, PLM or other programs - a feature no longer used - but
- which does produce an error message which can be disregarded.)
-
- On Volume 3 we also have a 29K explanation of HOW TO USE
- REC.
-
- When we pointed out to the good doctor that most people
- use ASM86 and not ACT86, he came up with a program that converts
- ACT86 code into ASM86 code. This code is on Volume 4 (SIG/M 166)
- as well as an assembly listing for REC86 in Digital Research ASM86
- source code. In addition we have been provided with some video
- graphics control programs and further applications of REC and CNVRT.
-
- This is indeed a monumental contribution to SIG/M and one that
- we sincerely appreciate. Your comments and application programs are
- also sought.
