x11/xp 1.2b10nb4 NetBSD

Release 2.0 of xp

xp started as a filter to simply display stdin in an Athena text widget. It grew to be a more general file displayer with an emphasis on ease of browsing and searching, but I've tried to keep its interface (and implementation) simple and make it useful in shell scripts.

xp tries to be reasonably efficient in use of memory when displaying large files, given that the text widgets requires the whole file to be in memory, by using a read-only text widget and freeing memory when a file is no longer displayed (so if you go back to a previously displayed file it gets re-opened).

xp incorporates Henry Spencer's implementation of egrep style regular expression matching. The xp distribution includes that part of the regexp distribution which it requires.
