A few points here:
1) The "new" version (based on the C++ components) do in fact have
several pattern matching features (including a partial regex parser, I
believe). And, yes, the "new management" (volunteers?), will provide
that.
2) Do NOT, under any circumstances, take a modified version of the Ada
83 components and make them publicly available! These components are
copyright by Grady and are expressly _not_ for public distribution.
3) I haven't looked at the SPITBOL stuff, but I've heard many good
things about it. I have great faith that it is fast, efficient, and
easy to use. Perl is nice, but once you exceed 1000 LOC, you're
REALLY asking for trouble (speaking from experience :-)
