installation should be quite easy. set CFLAGS (in makefile) to include a -DUSE_STDIO if you want to use stdio. otherwise you will need fio. if you have a memmove in your C library, use -DMEMMOVE; otherwise it will use memcpy (definition in hdr.h). a simple regression test can be done by make regress. the default C compiler is assumed to be ansi compliant (or c++). if you don't have one, there is a deansify.awk to help. look at the target oregress for how i use it. bugs to andrew@research.att.com things to do: multibyte chars
