This directory contains GNU sed.  Please report all bugs and commentsto bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.This sed may run slower than some UN*X seds.  This is because it usesthe regular-expression routines from Emacs, which are rather completeand powerful, but not as fast as they could be.  If you really careabout speed, use perl instead.To compile:1.  Type `sh configure'.  This shell script attempts to guess correctvalues for various system-dependent variables used during compilation,and creates the file `Makefile'.  This takes a minute or so.If you want to compile in a different directory from the onecontaining the source code, `cd' to that directory and run `configure'with the option `+srcdir=DIR', where DIR is the directory thatcontains the source code.  The object files and executables will beput in the current directory.  This option only works with versions of`make' that support the VPATH variable.  `configure' ignores any otherarguments you give it.If your system requires unusual options for compilation or linkingthat `configure' doesn't know about, you can give `configure' initialvalues for variables by setting them in the environment; inBourne-compatible shells, you can do that on the command line likethis:$ CC='gcc -traditional' LIBS=-lposix sh configure2.  If you want to change the directories where the program will beinstalled, or the optimization options, edit `Makefile' and changethose values.  If you have an unusual system that needs specialcompilation options that `configure' doesn't know about, and youdidn't pass them in the environment when running `configure', youshould add them to `Makefile' now.  Alternately, teach `configure' howto figure out that it is being run on a system where they are needed,and mail the diffs to the address listed at the top of this file so wecan include them in the next release.3.  Type `make'.4.  If the program compiles successfully, type `make install' toinstall it.5.  After you have installed the program, you can remove the binaryfrom the source directory by typing `make clean'.  Type `makedistclean' if you also want to remove `Makefile', for instance if youare going to recompile sed next on another type of machine.
