Hi,

In find.texi line 488, it is sayed that regular expression used
in find are compatible with emacs regexp. Yet, I tried to
use `find -type f -regex '.\{3,\}'` to find files whose names
are longer that 2 characters. There are existing, anyway.
Find gave me no answer. I think the default regular expressions 
in find are not the same as emacs regexp.

For completness, I use find from debian/sid package.

By the way, I thank you for yours excellent tools.
Cheers

Gilles Crèvecœur
