Does anybody know what other projects use it? CLISP (http://clisp.cons.org) comes with regexp.[ch] of 1994. they are used only if the libc does not provide its own regexp. I wonder if Emacs could do the same, i.e., rely on the OS. -- Sam Steingold (http://www.podval.org/~sds) running w2k Please wait, MS Windows are preparing the blue screen of death.
