Several people have asked me how to obtain Henry Spencer's regexp
package. 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.
