I'm trying to use regex(). According to the manual page, this should be in libpw.a (programmers workbench). The man page also says it's part of the basic BOS stuff. I've installed all of the BOS stuff, but there is no libpw.a Am I missing something? Peter Blemel ------------ cassandra!peter@yenta.alb.nm.us

I'll have to check if the case is wrong in info's documentation. +-----All Views Expressed Are My Own And Are Not Necessarily Shared By------+ +------------------------------My Employer----------------------------------+ + Ronald S.

I also found another mistake in the documentation for regex(). There is an external variable "_loc1" which is exported. This variable is actually "__loc1". (That is two underscores in the variable name, not just one.) I have reported these two problems to the appropriate people.
