-This directory contains the GNU regex library. It is compliant with
-POSIX.2, except for internationalization features.
-
-See the file NEWS for a list of major changes in the current release.
-
-See the file INSTALL for compilation instructions. (The only thing
-installed is the documentation; regex.c is compiled into regex.o, but
-not installed anywhere.)
-
-The subdirectory `doc' contains a (programmers') manual for the library.
-It's probably out-of-date. Improvements are welcome.
-
-The subdirectory `test' contains the various tests we've written.
-
-We know this code is not as fast as it might be. If you have specific
-suggestions, profiling results, or other such useful information to
-report, please do.
-
-Emacs 18 is not going use this revised regex (but Emacs 19 will). If
-you want to try it with Emacs 18, apply the patch at the end of this
-file first.
-
-Mail bug reports to bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.
-
-Please include an actual regular expression that fails (and the syntax
-used to compile it); without that, there's no way to reproduce the bug,
-so there's no way we can fix it. Even if you include a patch, also
-include the regular expression in error; otherwise, we can't know for
-sure what you're trying to fix.
-
-Here is the patch to make this version of regex work with Emacs 18.
