sed: documentation problem

Hello,

struggling with sed I wanted to read the page
http://www.wollery.demon.co.uk/sedtut10.txt, but I only get

www.wollery.demon.co.uk: host not found


Also, sed appears to support only "obsolete" regular expressions
by the definition given in the docs for Hendy Spencer's regex
library (which claims to support POSIX regex-es). This is not
clearly spelled out in the sed man page, too. I had to experiment
to find out what sed actually supports (ie, '+' vs. '*' and such).

You may want to update the man page to point to a different site.


Thank you!


Best,
--Toni++
