# 1)  Regular Expressions Test
#
#     Read a file of (extended per egrep) regular expressions (one per line),
#     and apply those to all files whose names are listed on the command line.
#     Basically, an 'egrep -f' simulator.  Test it with 20 "vt100" patterns
#     against a five /etc/termcap files.  Tests using more elaborate patters
#     would also be interesting.  Your code should not break if given hundreds
#     of regular expressions or binary files to scan.

# This implementation:
# - combines all patterns into a single one using ( ... | ... | ... )
# - reads patterns from stdin, scans files given as command line arguments
# - produces output in the format <file>:<lineno>:<line>
# - is only about 2.5 times as slow as egrep (though I couldn't run
#   Tom's test -- this system, a vanilla SGI, only has /etc/terminfo)
