I don't understand how UNIX, "native environment" or my article on modules come into play with having the regexp module in the MS-win32 native distribution.

In March, I gave (hopefully) repeatable instructions on how to compile CLISP with modules/regexp/ using MS-VC++6. Everything needed (except 1-2 patches to sources found in the CLISP distribution) is either in the CLISP source archive, or your C compiler. It's trivial to do.

Similarly, it's IMHO trivial to build CLISP modules with any C compiler on any platform where CLISP has been ported to, except that on UNIX you additionaly have those clisp-link shell scripts. I never built a module on UNIX. I have a rough idea of what these scripts do.

What is open is whether my suggested alloca() patch to modules/regexp/regex.c could be accepted by some GNU regexp/Emacs/whoever maintainers.

Another thing, which does not in any way affect my patches, is whether to replace the ~6-year old modules/regex.c by some newer GNU code. Did anyone ever complain about this module being old or buggy?

I'll send you the current version of my article on modules in a separate e-mail.
