Alan Wendt <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: BSD
Package: Grok - get regular expression and make O
System name: grok
Type: GNU

Description:
This is for a finished program called "grok" that I wrote in 1991.

I just want to contribute it to GNU so that it gets wider usage.

The program reads a regular expression from a file and compiles

the regular expression.  It also compiles character-to-character

correction costs.  Then it reads standard input and makes least-cost

error-correction changes to the lines in standard input, to change them

to instances of the regular expression.  One typical usage would be to

correct OCR scanning errors in input that can be categorized as regular 
expressions.



I will put the source code at http://www.cybertrails.com/~alanw/grok.

Other Comments:
Note -- My mozilla could not change the license type, should probably be 
changed to BSD because this code is a derivative work of flex.
