PRegEx Master Issues List -- last updated 2002/08/14
===============================================================

Bugs:

- PRegEx_ListToSPListSym crashes on Windows when converting strings to
  symbols. See file PRegEx_ListToSPListSym_crash.txt in this directory
  for details.  Thanks to Karl Young.

- Currently, "-" and "\" are considered special in _Translate() EVEN
  when they are specified via the escape sequences \-, \\, \x2D, or
  \x5C.  In these cases, they should be treated as literal characters
  in the translation tables.  (Thanks to Arno Oesterheld.)

  ==> Workaround 1: to map a dash, make it the first character in the
      input mapping.  To map a slash, make it the last character in
      the input mapping.  For example:

	  re_tr(foo, "-a-z", "!z-a") -- dashes to bangs; invert alphabet
	  re_tr(foo, "a-z\", "z-a!") -- backslash to bang; invert alphabet

  ==> Workaround 2: use "-" as a range operator to include dash and
      slash in a range with the surrounding characters.  For example:

	  re_tr(foo, ",-.", ",!.") -- convert dashes (only) to bangs
	  re_tr(foo, "[-]", "[!]") -- convert backslashes (only) to bangs

  ==> Fix.

- Calling join() with an empty list crashes the Mac.

  ==> Fix.


- Can't write files to top level of hard drive (at least on Mac)

  ==> Try to fix.  May be MOA bug.


- The "s" option does not always function correctly.  This is because
  of the way the PCRE engine is compiled.

  ==> Will need new version of PCRE; may be fixable now.


- _Begin and _Continue do not work correctly when nested calls are to
   be used.

  ==> Either remove them, deprecate them, or add a required 
      _End call.
  

- An error message says "...with setting" rather than "...without
  setting".

  ==> Fix.


Wish list:

- Add an optimization for when the search/replace string is the same
  from one call to the next (which is commonly the case).

  ==> Either have the engine notice automatically, OR allow a special
      token to be passed for SearchStrL which means to use the
      previous SearchStrL.
