I answered this mail yesterday, but then I saw that the original posting had a `Reply-To' header, so I'm sending it again, to the list, because it might be of interest to others.

BTW, I think one should generally *not* use `Reply-To' headers in the mailing list, unless in special cases (like the strawpoll recently), just like one should not ask for private replies in newsgroups.

My apologies, my MUA puts in a reply-to header by default, I've never needed to remove it on any other mailing list, but looking at mail from those most of them appear to re-write the reply-to header to be the mailing list submission address. With my MUA, if I try to reply to your message it is going to go direct to you and not to the list.

For the RegEx unit, you need the rx library. Sources and binaries are available at ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/libs/

Thank you, I've now picked that up. Am I likely to need any of the other items from the libs directory? I ask because I see there is a gmp in there, but the demos using gmp work fine on my system ...

Oh yes, this is a bug. Please add the line

#include <sys/types.h>

in pipec.c (near the other #include statements), then it should work.

Thanks again. -- David James mailto:david@tcs01.demon.co.uk
