Guessing from the symbols in libregex.so, QNX's regex engine appears to be TRE, which claims to be POSIX compliant. (But maybe it's an earlier version of TRE? Who knows...) Once you are done with that: Maybe it would make sense to install GNU grep from source; then you should be able to build a testdir of all of Gnulib? Bruno
