<P>The author can be contacted at john@johnmaddock.co.uk;&nbsp;the home page for
this library is at <A href="http://www.boost.org">www.boost.org</A>.</P>
<P>I am indebted to <A href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~rs/">Robert Sedgewick's
"Algorithms in C++" </A>for forcing me to think about algorithms and their
performance, and to the folks at <A href="http://www.boost.org">boost</A> for
forcing me to <I>think</I>, period.</P>
<P><A href="http://www.boost-consulting.com">Eric Niebler</A>, author of the <A href="http://research.microsoft.com/projects/greta">
GRETA regular expression component</A>, has shared several important ideas,
in a series of long discussions.</P>
<P>Pete Becker, of <A href="http://www.dinkumware.com/">Dinkumware Ltd</A>, has
helped enormously with the standardisation proposal language.</P>
<P>The following people have all contributed useful comments or fixes: Dave
Abrahams, Mike Allison, Edan Ayal, Jayashree Balasubramanian, Jan B<>lsche,
Beman Dawes, Paul Baxter, David Bergman, David Dennerline, Edward Diener, Peter
Dimov, Robert Dunn, Fabio Forno, Tobias Gabrielsson, Rob Gillen, Marc Gregoire,

Herv<72> Poirier, Michael Raykh, Marc Recht, Scott VanCamp, Bruno Voigt, Alexey
Voinov, Jerry Waldorf, Rob Ward, Lealon Watts, John Wismar, Thomas Witt and
Yuval Yosef. I am also grateful to the manuals supplied with the Henry Spencer,
Perl and GNU regular expression libraries - wherever possible I have tried to
maintain compatibility with these libraries and with the POSIX standard - the
code however is entirely my own, including any bugs! I can absolutely guarantee
that I will not fix any bugs I don't know about, so if you have any comments or
spot any bugs, please get in touch.</P>
