Are there any programs for MS-DOS that do the same things as the Unix "diff" or "grep" utilities? If somebody has a public domain program that does one of these, how about sending it to me or telling me where I can ftp get it? If there are commercial products, I would appreciate being sent the name of the product and who makes it. Thanks.

These progs are pretty much OS independent, and very useful! John -- John Plocher uwvax!geowhiz!uwspan!plocher plocher%uwspan.UUCP@uwvax.CS.WISC.EDU

You also get the Korn shell, vi, etc. etc. You get input output redirection, pipes, and most of the UN*X goodies. It works great. It makes MS-DOS look like UN*X, except, unfortunately no multitasking. -- Bill Tanenbaum - AT&T Bell Labs - Naperville IL ihnp4!ihlpg!tan
