Yeah, it's too bad too few of the regex libraries bothered to look at 
eachother and use the same syntax...

I think I found another bug in that 
C:\Users\John\Downloads\!Software\Boost C 
libraries\boost_1_44_0\libs\regex> nmake -fvc9.mak
builds libraries with a -1_42 extension instead of a -1_44 extension.  I 
renamed one to 1_44 and it worked.  Probably another case of too many 
ways to do the same thing (compile).

Thanks for the quick reply!
