#ifdef EDIT_DISTANCE

/* edit_dist -- returns the minimum edit distance between two strings

	Program by:  Mark Maimone   CMU Computer Science   13 Nov 89
	Last Modified:  28 Jan 90

   If the input strings have length n and m, the algorithm runs in time
   O(nm) and space O(min(m,n)).

HISTORY
   13 Nov 89 (mwm) Created edit_dist() and set_costs().

   28 Jan 90 (mwm) Added view_costs().  Should verify that THRESHOLD
   computations will work even when THRESHOLD is not a multiple of
   sizeof(int).

   17 May 93 (mwm) Improved performance when used with trn's newsgroup
   processing; assume all costs are 1, and you can terminate when a
   threshold is exceeded.

/* Here's where the fun begins.  We will find the minimum edit distance
   using dynamic programming.  We only need to store two rows of the matrix
   at a time, since we always progress down the matrix.  For example,
   given the strings "one" and "two", and insert, delete and change costs
   equal to 1:

	   _  o  n  e
	_  0  1  2  3
	t  1  1  2  3
	w  2  2  2  3
	o  3  2  3  3

   The dynamic programming recursion is defined as follows:

	ar(x,0) := x * insert_cost
	ar(0,y) := y * delete_cost
	ar(x,y) := min(a(x - 1, y - 1) + (from[x] == to[y] ? 0 : change),
		       a(x - 1, y) + insert_cost,
		       a(x, y - 1) + delete_cost,
		       a(x - 2, y - 2) + (from[x] == to[y-1] &&
					  from[x-1] == to[y] ? swap_cost :
					  infinity))

   Since this only looks at most two rows and three columns back, we need
   only store the values for the two preceeding rows.  In this
   implementation, we do not explicitly store the zero column, so only 2 *
   from_len + 2   words are needed.  However, in the implementation of the
   swap_cost   check, the current matrix value is used as a buffer; we
   can't overwrite the earlier value until the   swap_cost   check has
   been performed.  So we use   2 * from_len + 3   elements in the buffer.
