  20. I'm not acquainted with that code, so I can't answer questions about it.
  21. You might check out the Icon program library; the procedure words(),
  22. in the "strings" package, provides a similar facility:
  23.     http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon/library/procs/strings.htm
  24.  
  25. Words() generates its results, but you could use it to build a list
  26. if that's what you need:
  27.     every put(L := [], words(s))
