No problems. It is a public domain gift to the project with no license or
terms. Use it how you like.

A number of other projects still depend on PCRE1. For example, Coreutils,
ClamAV, cURL, Git, Less, and Wget. That's why I need to move on some of these
items. Otherwise, I would just use PCRE2.

The one change I was not sure about is this. You may need to fiddle with it:

true_study_size, f) <
                 true_study_size)
               {
fprintf(outfile, "Write error on %s: %s\n", to_file,


This may be a better choice:

+ if (extra->study_data == NULL || fwrite(extra->study_data, 1,
true_study_size, f) < true_study_size)
