TinyScheme RE (Regular Expressions) extension
             ---------------------------------------------
Version 1.2, August 2002

The bulk of this directory is the regular expression library written
by Henry Spencer (see file README and COPYRIGHT).

Two files were added to produce the TinyScheme regular expression
library, re.so: re.c and re.makefile. The included re.makefile was contributed
initially by Stephen Gildea and should be adaptable to all Unix systems.

The makefile produces a DLL named re.so. For now, it contains just
a single foreign function (re-match <pattern> <string>). It returns
true (string matches pattern) or false. If it is called with an
extra parameter, which should be a vector, overwrites as many elements
of the vector as needed with the strings that matched the corresponding
parenthesized subexpressions inside <pattern>.

It is not fully tested, so use with caution.

Load the extension from inside TinyScheme using
(load-extension "re/re")
assuming that re.so is in the directory "re".

Load "re.scm" if you wish to use v.1.1 behavior.
