Randy> I'm kind of surprised this is that much of a debate... I'm suprised too. The regex routines that come with Tcl are based on (one of) Spencer's packages. None of the porting problems I've with Tcl have come from that code -- I can't think of a single place where it didn't compile the first time. I suppose it is conceivable that his code won't port to some machine. It seems pretty unlikely, though. But if it is that much of a concern, then I'll volunteer to do whatever porting work becomes necessary. Tom -- tromey@cygnus.com Member, League for Programming Freedom
