Ah.  Sounds useful, and requirous of a play to discover how it works.  
But still a mystery.  Any chance you could write a couple of sentences 
to add to the MPro Stronghelp about this?  We could ask Andrew to 
include it in the next edition (he has several times asked for such 
help with the documentation).

I do have "regex" (dated 2014-06-01, but that might be one of those 
mirage dates) on my RiscPC 4.39 in !Boot.library.user, but it's an 
Absolute file, not a module, hence nothing internal to identify 
version, author or source, sadly.  Is this what you refer to?
(Nothing similar on my Iyonix.)
