-This is the initial release of flex, a replacement for the lex(1)
-tool.  As the copyright indicates, this distribution can be freely
-redistributed.

-Some notes on the distribution:
-
-    Yes, there are some niggling lex features which are not available which
-    seem like they'd be easy to add.  They're not, or if they are then the
-    straight-forward implementation of them would slow down the scanner.
-    Unfortunately I am unable to do any further work on flex other than bug
-    fixes, so if there's something you've just gotta have, you'd better
-    be willing to dive into the code.  I'll be happy to give (fairly
-    high-level) advice on how to proceed.
-
-    The compressed tables have been tested pretty thoroughly in the past,
-    though may be suffering from bit-rot.  The fast/full tables have been
-    recently implemented and are more likely to have bugs.
-
-    For a System V machine, add the #define "SV".  Not guaranteed to do
-    the full job, but a step in the right direction.
-
-    Flex has been successfully ported to Sun Unix and 4.3BSD Vax Unix.
