Grep 2.2 notes
______________

These are short notes regarding this 'quick and dirty' RISC OS port of GNU grep
2.2. Please don't expect any of the 'fancy' stuff to work (although some of it
might), because I haven't tested it.

This is the GNU version of the well known Unix commandline utility 'grep'. Grep
is a program that can scan text files for lines containing a specific pattern.
The search pattern format (a form of regular expression) is very powerful and
can be used to find very complicated patterns if needed.

I'm not providing sources or docs, please get these from almost anywhere on the
Internet, for example from :

ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/grep-2.2.tar.gz

Then follow the 'recipe' in BuildHow (if you want to compile grep yourself).

- RISC OS 3.1 and later
- ARM 2 and later processors (26- or 32-bit architectures)
