Actually, NOT. I tried, once, dropping the gnulib regex* into gawk. It wouldn't fit without dragging in a ton of gnulib portability / autoconf glop. (I would use a stronger word, but ...) So, sorry. For now, my source for regex is GLIBC. If / when gnulib regex can be dropped into gawk without all the goo, I'll reconsider. In the meantime, gawk's regex also has some fixes vis a vis glibc that I don't think are in gnulib, but I don't have the cycles to do the merge. Arnold
