Thanks to several people who pointed out that the regex stuff is folded into
libc.  I was looking for a separate library and didn't find it.

Now I can state my problem more precisely. :-(  Is there some way to get regex
routines when compiling against RSXNTDJ?  I need to make a little shim that
explodes URLs into their component fields and sticks the fragments into a
command string so that I can get Netscape Communicator to invoke a decent
Telnet rather than the lame excuse that comes with Win95.  This shim needs to
be a GUI app. so that it can run without opening a console window -- I want the
process of assembling the correct command to be invisible to the user.

I had my code working as a console app. but when I replaced my debugging
printf.s with CreateProcess I had to start using the RSXNTDJ libraries and I
found that these do *not* appear to have the regex code included.  Any ideas?
