Welcome to the Lookup version 1.09f unoffical patch release!

Lookup is a powerful text search tool, which includes a regular expression
library, written by Jeffrey Friedl.  The last known offical release of lookup
happened around 1996, at version 1.08b.  The primary use of this tool is to
search Jim Breen's famous EDICT dictionary file collections (Japanese-English
word lists), however, one can use it to search just about any text file.
This patch fixes several bugs discovered by various people over the years and
modernizes a few parts of the code so that at least it can now compile and work
under modern versions of Solaris or Linux.  This also includes the server
version of lookup, which is the heart and soul of Jeffrey's Japanese-English
Dictionary Server.

This release comes with two files:  README (the file you are reading now) and 
lookup-1.09f.patch, which contains the patch itself.

To apply the patch, you need the lookup 1.08b release tarball, which can be
obtained from the same place you obtain this patch, usually at any good
Nihongo mirror near you.  For a list of Jim Breen's Nihongo mirrors, please
see http://ftp.cc.monash.edu.au/pub/nihongo/00MIRRORS.html.

Once you have obtained and extracted the original lookup tarball to a directory,
apply the patch in the following manner in that directory:

% patch -p0 < lookup-1.09f.patch

The output should look something like this if all went well:

patching file `lookup/CHANGES'
patching file `lookup/Makefile'
patching file `lookup/lib/config.h'
patching file `lookup/lib/jreadline.c'
patching file `lookup/lib/jregex.c'
patching file `lookup/lib/loadfile.c'
patching file `lookup/lib/output.c'
patching file `lookup/lib/std_romaji.c'
patching file `lookup/lib/termset.c'
patching file `lookup/lookup.c'
patching file `lookup/lookup.h'
patching file `lookup/version.c'

Once that's done, you can now compile lookup according to the way you like and
for the operating system you use.

If you wish to send patches for lookup, or spotted something I have broken
someplace, please feel free to consult http://www.miredespa.com/wfms/lookup/
for further information, or drop me an email at wfms@regex.info.  Patches for
other operating systems would be most welcome, but it is unlikely that I'll
be able to test them.
