This version was released 6 June 1997 It was compiled for NeXT on 13 Jun 1997. Needless to say, it has not been all that well tested. Actually I have not got the configuration done at my own machine. But I was thinking that whoever might be interested in helping me figure it out would want to know it themselves as well :-) There was only one change necessary to make it work: In 'extensions.c' in the 'src' directory Change this: #ifdef HAVE_REGEX_H #include <regex.h> #endif to this: /*#ifdef HAVE_REGEX_H #include <regex.h> #endif */ (Thanks to Rex Dieter <rdieter@math.unl.edu> who told me how to fix that!) Anyone who gets this up and running, please let me know and you can help me too :-? TjL <luomat@peak.org>
