But I think BSD grep should be compatible with GNU grep,
because almost all scripts are written for GNU grep before
BSD grep appears, it is not practical to rewrite all existing
scripts. Anyway, thanks for your help.

Hi,

GNU grep is OK.  However standard BSD grep also work:

find . -exec grep -i world {} /dev/null \;

or even:

find . -exec grep -in world {} /dev/null \;

if you want linenumbers ...

Yes, I'm sorry for my slow reaction, I got a flu some time ago and that prevented me from fixing the bugs earlier. I have several fixes in my working copy, which are being discussed with my mentor. Probably, today or tomorrow they will be committed.

When will the grep -H print file name for me ? it is rather painful that the feature is missing. :-(
So I can not use it with find:

find . -exec grep -H {} world \;
I don't know which file contains the word world.
