Re: regular expression packages

    In what sense?  From what I've seen, Rx is a very powerful system.  I
    think its speed problems stem from a poor implementation, not a poor
    design.

If Rx can be made to work reliable then I would say it rocks. But as is, on
my system anyhow, calling regcomp will core-dump after about 50 invocations.
There is a null pointer dereference somewhere in the library but the code is
too much for me at a glance...
