- Dear Donna,
-
- Contributions time again, folks! Latest tidbits are:
-
- 1. BU.C, Version 1.02 - the previous version had a
- nasty habit of failing to properly copy zero length
- files and files that exactly filled the dynamically
- allocated buffer used for copying. Now corrected.
-
- 2. FGREP.C, Version 1.05 - inconsistency of use between
- -v and -c options corrected, and will now properly
- compile under MS-DOS Microsoft and Lattice C
- compilers.
-
- 3. FGREP.DOC - transcript of my article "Parallel
- Pattern Matching and FGREP" in the September issue of
- Dr. Dobb's Journal. Almost everything you would want
- to know about the Aho-Corasick algorithm behind
- "fgrep".
-
- 4. MORE.C - a CP/M version of MS-DOS's "more" utility.
- Simple but useful.
-
- 5. SPLINE.C - UNIX has this fascinating filter that
- takes numerical x-y co-ordinates and interpolates
-
-
-

-
- between them to create data for a continuous,
- mathematically smooth curve. Useful for 2-D graphics,
- data plotting, numerically-controlled milling
- machines. Great for roller coaster design! It is now
- in the public domain.
-
- 6. SPLINE.DOC - for those fellow crazies who find
- mathematics not only comprehensible, but almost as
- much fun as programming. Explains the mathematical
- theory of cubic splines.
-
- 7. PREP.C - I'm not quite sure who would find UNIX's
- "prep" utility useful. For those that may, it also is
- now in the public domain.
-
- A question to be answered via the next newsletter: how small
- is McPherson, anyway? (A straight and honest answer is not
- expected.)
