Two and a half choices.


1) Flex, which is a lex clone, available from prep.ai.mit.edu in
      /pub/gnu/flex-something-or-other.tar.gz
2) Gnu regex, prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/regex-0.12.tar.gz (slow)
3) Gnu RX, a regex re-implementation, currently part of gnu sed, same
      site and directory, sed-2.02b.tar.gz. This should be faster than
      regex.


Get gzip to uncompress, gzip-1.2.3.tar.gz
