-wxRegEx represents a regular expression. The regular expressions syntax
-supported is the POSIX one. Both basic and extended regular expressions are
-supported but, unlike POSIX C API, the extended ones are used by default.
+wxRegEx represents a regular expression.  This class provides support
+for regular expressions matching and also replacement.
 
-This class provides support for regular expressions matching and also
-replacement. It is built on top of either the system library (if it has support
-for POSIX regular expressions - which is the case of the most modern Unices) or
-uses the built in Henry Spencer's library. In the latter case you need to abide
-by the terms of its copyright:
+It is built on top of either the system library (if it has support

+would appreciate being given credit in the documentation of software
+which uses his library, but that is not a requirement.

+Regular expressions, as defined by POSIX, come in two flavours: {\it extended}
+and {\it basic}.  The builtin library also adds a third flavour
+of expression \helpref{advanced}{wxresyn}, which is not available
+when using the system library.
 
-2. The origin of this software must not be misrepresented, either by
-   explicit claim or by omission.  Since few users ever read sources,
-   credits must appear in the documentation.
+Unicode is fully supported only when using the builtin library.
+When using the system library in Unicode mode, the expressions and data
+are translated to the default 8-bit encoding before being passed to
+the library.

-4. This notice may not be removed or altered.

+On platforms where a system library is available, the default is to use
+the builtin library for Unicode builds, and the system library otherwise.
+It is possible to use the other if preferred by selecting it when building
+the wxWidgets.
