- Reply-To: lord@cygnus.com
- Distribution: world
- Approved: info-gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu

- Followup-To: gnu.utils.bug
-
- Rx, version 1.0, is now available.
-
- Copies can be obtained by ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/rx-1.0.tar.gz
- and from other sites (see the list of mirror sites at the end of this
- message).
-
- Rx is an implementation of the standard regular expression matching
- functions specified by POSIX.2 (and then some).
-
- The distribution now includes a texinfo manual.
-
- The largest change in this version of Rx is an algorithmic improvement
- based on advice from Henry Spencer. The resulting matcher is often a
- little slower than older versions of Rx, but more importantly, where
- older versions of Rx used unreasonable amounts of time or space, the
- new version gives reasonable performance.
-
- Older versions of Rx included implementations of the standard GNU
- regexp entry points, as well as of the traditional BSD entry points.
- In the interest of saving time, these have not been ported to Rx 1.0,
- though contributions of implementations are welcome.
-
- This version of Rx has been built and tested on Linux.
-
- Please report bugs to bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.

- [ Most GNU software is packed using the GNU `gzip' compression program.
- Source code is available on most sites distributing GNU software.
-
- For information on how to order GNU software on tape, floppy or cd-rom, or
- printed GNU manuals, check the file etc/ORDERS in the GNU Emacs
- distribution, ftp the file /pub/gnu/GNUinfo/ORDERS on prep, or
- e-mail a request to: gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu
-
- By ordering your GNU software from the FSF, you help us continue to
- develop more free software. Media revenues are our primary source of
- support. Donations to FSF are deductible on US tax returns.
-
- The above software will soon be at these ftp sites as well.
- Please try them before prep.ai.mit.edu as prep is very busy!
