  The program, called "Wart", is a DFA compiler, which just happens to
be a subset of a lexical analyzer.  It is small and fairly fast, and
is simple enough that both Dick McMurray & I have produced modified
versions (his is FAST, mine is just Fast but does nice diagnostics).
  It takes an input which is an integer, and in the Kermit
implementation happens to contain a character.
  Further information available on demand by mail, source available to
the Minix distribution after someone confirms it works properly (it
already runs on CP/M, v7, 4.2, sIII and Macintoshes, so it probably
works on Minix :-))
