Yes and no.  I hacked up a sed script which works for unsharing old-Minix
shar files.  Here it is:

#!//bin/ksh
#  minix gres clone
sed "s/$1/$2/g"

That is strange.  Where exactly did the regexp library come from?  It seems
to me that it was added in v1.2 from a net posting.  At one time I had gres
running on our 4.3BSD VAX.

I don't belive so.  I think it is unique to Minix.
