        At the Winter 1987 Usenix Van Jacobson of LBL labs presented a
paper describing a much improved version of Lex. He got the main
processing down to a single table lookup in memory! (The rumor was
that it was just marginally slower than 'cat'). I don't know what the
current status of the project is; I would very much like either a copy
of his paper or the program itself. Anyone know more than I?
