Can anyone recommend a regular expression parser/matcher package that is complete and reasonably ready to compile under DOS? I fetched some source code from comp.sources.unix vol10 -- name contained the string "regex" -- and got it compiled and running before I realized that it supported an inadequate subset of full regular expressions. So then I broke the regex routines out of Gnu grep and tried those; they do a heck of an optimization, no doubt, but the compiler module is an 80K .obj file, and there seems to be some kind of allocation bug. All this added up to a lot more work than I was expecting. Surely this battle has been fought and won?
