ANNOUNCE: sgrep-1.90a - SGML and XML search and indexing tool

[Jani Jaakkola]

Sgrep-1.90a has been made available in source and binary form. Binaries
are available for Win32, HP-UX, Linux, OSF1 and Solaris platforms.

Sgrep is a tool to search and index text, SGML, XML and HTML files using
structured patterns. This example searches TITLE elements containing word
Hamlet from Jon Bosaks XML-text collections (both the religious texts
and Shakespeares works):

% time sgrep -x index 'stag("TITLE") .. etag("TITLE") 
        containing word("Hamlet")'
<TITLE>The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark</TITLE>

Sgrep-1.90a is still under development, but can be considered as a
major step towards version 2.0.

New features in 1.90a include
- Query operators supporting direct containment. In SGML and XML world 
  this means that you can query children and parents of given elements.
- The sources are available under GPL-license for those interested in
  compiling sgrep themselves.
- Sgrep now uses GNU autoconf, so compiling sgrep under Unix-systems
  should be easy.
- Many bug fixes
