If you are really concerned about performance in fgrep, you should consider using the Boyer-Moore pattern matcher, which I believe was posted on the net some time ago. It can't handle all the fgrep options, but if you are just looking for a fast search program, it does the job quite well. Jeff Dean {hplabs,parcvax}!cdp!jeff jeff@ads.arpa
