Is The Regex Coach compatable with preg AND ereg, ie, Perl and POSIX style?

Hi!

I don't know what preg and ereg are.  The Regex Coach is compatible
with Perl's regular expression syntax and thus in particular with
anything based on the PCRE library.

Because of this it can't technically be compatible to anything that's
itself not compatible to Perl's syntax.  AFAIK POSIX style regexes
don't have look-ahead or look-behind for example.

Cheers,
Edi.
