Why are you so excited about DM's grep?
Is it much better than the GNU version?[1]
Because that one is available for free, even on Windows.
 From http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/grep.html, the only features 
mentioned that the GNU version doesn't (or at least that I don't know 
how to turn on) are -v (verbose, woohoo ;) ), and wide character 
searching. That last one may be useful for some people, but AFAIK I 
don't even have any text files with wide characters on my computer.

Unless, of course, you're being sarcastic.



[1]: I can understand it being more useful than white noise ;).
