I went to the local Apple store yesterday to buy a Macbook Pro.  Unfortunately, the staff was too busy trying to sell $600 iPhones to bother with the $2500 Macbook Pro's.  Guess that's why they dropped the "Computer" from their name.

Fixed a variety of bugs:

• In regex, now interpret ']' immediately following the opening '[' as a shorthand for '\]'.
• In regex, changed +special-class-names+ from a defconstant to a defparameter.
• In clawk, removed dependence on the utils package.
• In lexer, fixed deflexer macro to allow lexers to be compiled to a file.

Posted a new version of regex that implements the Perl \d \D \w \W \s \S metasequences, as well as the egrep \< and \> metasequences. It also implements (?=...) lookahead and (?!...) negative lookahead. The code is in the file regexexp.tgz (in tputils.tgz or available by itself).

If there are no problems over the next few weeks, I'll upgrade this version from experimental to stable.

The Regex distribution now comes with the source for the GNU benchmark program.

The previous Lexer distribution used a very large floating point number in the example that was blowing up CMUCL. The new one uses a smaller one that should be ok.
