+This directory contains some examples of what you can do with
+flex. These files are not tested regularly so you might have to tinker
+a bit before they work for you. Updates, new files and patches are welcome.
+
+	- debflex.awk, an awk script for anotating flex debug output.
+	  It presently only works with gawk and mawk, not with "old"
+	  or "new" awk.
+
+	- testxxLexer.l, a sample C++ program that uses flex's scanner
+	  class option ("-+").
+
+	- fastwc/, a subdirectory containing examples of how to use flex
+	  to write progressively higher-performance versions of the Unix
+	  "wc" utility.  This certainly should work with 2.5, but hasn't
+	  been tested.
