Hi,
I recently bought the Aztec C compiler (3.6a) for the Amiga from
a local dealer. In order to gain familiarity with the system, I
ported James Wood's Super Kanji Egrep from Comp.sources.unix.
This is an 8 bit compatible grep, fgrep and egrep. The fgrep uses
Boyer Moore skip tables to get sublinear string matching speed.
Grep and Egrep use Henry Spencers regular expression library to
create an NFA which is ok for grep, but lacking for egrep. The
original unix code would hand off the pattern to the unix ?grep
as appropriate in situations where this version is inadequate.
Anyhow, does anyone want this? I don't want to send this to the
moderator if its something that is widely available. Also, this
port is pretty simple -- anyone with the sources could do it.
Less than 5 'I WANTS' and I'll send it by mail. More than 10, and
I'll send it to the moderator. Anything in between depends on my
mood and what they're serving for lunch in the cafeteria.
I'm also sending this to comp.sys.atari.st because the sources
are fairly vanilla and should port quite easily. Requires
essentially stdio, malloc and stat. Let me know if you ST folks
want it.
Regards,
Binayak Banerjee
