Hiya!

	I'm currently trying to compile some software on a Linux box
that was originally developed on a CT S640 running UNIX System V Release
5.3. The Linux machine is running Slackware Linux 2.0.29. The original 
code included calls to regex and regcmp. I have been told that these 
functions are compatible with linux's regexec and regcomp functions. Is
this information correct? 

I have tried defining regex as regexec etc in the source, it was working
fine until I received the following compiler error:

too many arguments to function 'regexec'

What can I do to fix this problem? 

Any help would be appreciated.
