I have xmail running on my Suns and I wanted to get it going on the
HPs (HP 9000s400 and HP 9000s700 running HP-UX 8.x).  I got it to
compile and link without errors, but the executable fails with the
same error on both architectures.

[66] kocrsw18: ./xmail
xmail: Regular expression too long (item 0).
[67] kocrsw18:

It seems like it may be a BSD vs. SysV regular expression problem and
since HP-UX tries to emulate both, it will compile.  Since I haven't
done regex programming before, I got lost in the source.  Has anyone
got this program working on HP-UX?

I used the following defines:
USE_DIRENT = -DUSE_DIRENT
MAILBOX_DIR = -DMAILBOX_DIRECTORY=\"/usr/mail\"
DEF_VISUAL = -DDEFAULT_VISUAL=\"/usr/bin/vi\"
DEF_MAILER = -DDEFAULT_MAILER=\"/usr/bin/mailx\"

I had to add -lBSD to resolve sigvec().

(Of course, I had to fix the makefile with the HP location of
the X11R4 includes and libs :-)

Thanks for any help!!
