/***************************************************************
*
* Fuzzy string searching subroutines
*
* Author: John Rex
* Date: August, 1988
* References: (1) Computer Algorithms, by Sara Baase
* Addison-Wesley, 1988, pp 242-4.
* (2) Hall PAV, Dowling GR: "Approximate string matching",
* ACM Computing Surveys, 12:381-402, 1980.
*
* Verified on:
* Datalite, DeSmet, Ecosoft, Lattice, MetaWare, MSC, Turbo, Watcom
*
* Compile time preprocessor switches:
* DEBUG - if defined, include test driver
*
* Usage:
*
* char *pattern, *text; - search for pattern in text
* int degree; - degree of allowed mismatch
* char *start, *end;
* int howclose;
*
* void App_init(pattern, text, degree); - setup routine
* void App_next(&start, &end, &howclose); - find next match
*
* - searching is done when App_next() returns start==NULL
*
