Yeah, I know ... I should know better than giving y'all the
chance to tell me there were ten betters way of fixin' this.

A c++ program working under linux (gcc 2.96) gave me a syntax
error under djgpp (2.95.3 20010315).

The problem seemed to be within the regex.h standard file; its
line 17 read:

typedef off_t regoff_t;

This off_t was not defined.  I replaced it by 'int' and the
program is running fine.

What was the correct way of having 'off_t' defined?
Is 'int' bad/ not portable/ politically incorrect/ in poor
taste?

Thanks !
