Henry reports that it is available by anonymous ftp from cs.toronto.edu. Look for /pub/regexp.shar.Z. It has also been pointed out that there is a GNU regexp package, whose functionality is similar to Henry's, though no detailed comparison is available. The GNU package presumably introduces the usual copyleft considerations, and may be faster but have a larger code size. Bill
