[comp.sys.amiga] grep for the Amiga

king@cell.mot.COM (Steven King) (12/02/89)

Is there a collection of your basic Unix-like utilities available for the 
Amiga?  I'm particularly interested in an implementation of 'grep'.

As a kinda-sorta related question, do any of you know of a public-domain
implementation of Rexx that runs under Unix?  I'm having a devil of a time
switching back and forth between ARexx at home and the csh script language 
at work... :-)

	You can find wc, ls, cut, paste, uuencode/uudecode, compress,
less, head, tail, sed (GNU version), find, grep, strings, ... on various
Fish Disks.

	The best one I've seen is a port of the GNU "grep/egrep" programs.
They are FAST FAST FAST.  GNU egrep ran 8 times faster than the Decus "grep"
I was using previously.
	It is available on a fairly recent Fish Disk.  Anonymous FTP to
uxe.cso.uiuc.edu and/or mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu and/or uihub.cs.uiuc.edu
will find most or all of these programs.

Would that I had FTP capabilities here.  Does anyone know of any good mail
servers for the Amiga?  Especially ones that care Fish disks.

Never hold down the "k" key.  It tends to put a    | Steve King  (708) 991-8056
lot of "k"s on the screen.                         |   ...uunet!motcid!king
