README.08b

                         Regina 0.08b
                         20 June 1997


Changes in this release (from 0.08a)
------------------------------------

o fixed error in pos() and lastpos() BIFs
  pos('','abc') and lastpos('','abc') now correctly return 0 and not 1
o fixed major problem with long strings (> 2040 characters)
  This was in fact an error introduced in 0.08a (0.07a was fine)
  In fact the fix is to use the memory.c file from 0.07a
o Minor changes to autoconf, configure script to find the ANSI C
  compiler; c89, before reverting to a potentially non-ANSI compiler;
  cc.

Please report any bugs with this release of Regina to me, NOT to Anders.
Most likely the bugs are of my origin, so I will attempt to fix them.
As with previous bugs fixed by me, I will pass these fixes on to Anders.

Cheers, Mark.
