 This is portable Universal Resource Identifier library for Common Lisp
 programs. It parses URI according to the RFC 2396 specification. It's

+A regression suite is included which uses Franz's open-source tester

+DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PURI and NET.URI
+------------------------------------
 
+* Puri uses the package 'puri while NET.URI uses the package 'net.uri
 
+* To signal an error parsing a URI, Puri uses the condition
+  :uri-parse-error while NET.URI uses the condition :parse-error. This
+  divergence occurs because Franz's parse-error condition uses
+  :format-control and :format-arguments slots which are not in the ANSI
+  specification for the parse-error condition.
