Hello,

I just reinstalled "less" from the cygwin site.
It still doesn't seem to anchor to word boundaries
using regex(3) rules i.e. \<SomeWord\> doesn't
match anything, as does <SomeWord>.   I read
a posting suggesing a solution by using perl
syntax (apparently):

   /\bSomeWord\b

That works, but is there a known reason why
the regex notation doesn't work?  I'd like to
avoid surprises.

Thanks.

Fred
