I am trying to compile Spencer's regexp(3) using the Datalite C
compiler on an 8086-based machine (GRiD Compass), but the compiler
complains about many things (like encountering end of file before
finding the end of a macro definition), and I'm having no luck tracking
down what causes the complaints.  Has anyone succeeded in compiling
regexp on a pc (UNIX cc has no trouble with it at all!)?  If so, can you
tell me what (if anything) you had to do to get it to compile?

I'm hoping to get the vi look-alike editor, STEVIE, running on my machine,
but first I need to get regexp to compile....

Thanks in advance.
