A while back I came across a copy of the Free Software Foundation's version of egrep, which they claimed was several times faster than regular egrep. If anyone could mail me a copy of it or knows of an ftp site I would be very grateful. Of course, if all else fails, I'll just have to write away to FSF (or do they have an email address for taking orders?) Thank you all in advance. -- Ari Halberstadt '91, "Long live succinct signatures" ari@eleazar.dartmouth.edu Disclaimer: "Live Free or Die"

As with all GNU, you can get it from prep.ai.mit.edu and probably gatekeeper.dec.com for those on the West Coast. Any boy is it fast!
