+
+installation notes:
+--------
+Read the comments at the beginning of Makefile before running.
+
+Utils.h contains some things that just might have to be modified on
+some systems, as well as a nested include (ugh) of <assert.h>.
+
+The "fake" directory contains quick-and-dirty fakes for some header
+files and routines that old systems may not have.  Note also that
+-DUSEBCOPY will make utils.h substitute bcopy() for memmove().
+
+After that, "make r" will build regcomp.o, regexec.o, regfree.o,
+and regerror.o (the actual routines), bundle them together into a test
+program, and run regression tests on them.  No output is good output.
+
+"make lib" builds just the .o files for the actual routines (when
+you're happy with testing and have adjusted CFLAGS for production),
+and puts them together into libregex.a.  You can pick up either the
+library or *.o ("make lib" makes sure there are no other .o files left
+around to confuse things).
+
+Main.c, debug.c, split.c are used for regression testing but are not part
+of the RE routines themselves.
+
+Regex.h goes in /usr/include.  All other .h files are internal only.
