Hi guys;
I replaced GNU grep with SCO's grep from
http://unixtools.sourceforge.net . They are both
covered by the same license (GPL) so there might not
be any real advantage in the replacement. I haven't
compared performance either.
Compiling was trivial, I only had to cut and paste one
function
FWIW;
The UNIX grep executable is like >3 times smaller than
GNU grep but also like 3 times slower.
Also .. JIC you wonder, I only built this for
curiosity, I recommend keeping GNU grep unless Caldera
changes the license :).
Pedro.

I think that it's said in GNU grep readme: they have knowingly
chosen a faster but more memory-consuming algorithm. And I think
that they've done similar choice

Unfortunately, GNU grep's -r option is broken (it does not handle
symnlinks correctly). Try textproc/freegrep from ports instead.

That's very cool! Congratulations!
NetBSD has a BSD sort, I understand it's based on the
Minix version, so we are getting very near to cleaning
all the utilities from the GPL.
cheers,
Pedro.

The classic Unix including BSD4.4 UNIX is now under a
BSD-like license too (finding it is another issue
though ;). Anyone from those days remembers anything
that might be worth resurrecting?
cheers,
Pedro.
