; GREPSB is a greatly enhanced replacement for DOS FIND and also
; improves on UNIX grep, egrep, and fgrep. It finds all lines or blocks
; in specified files that contain (or don't contain) a string or regular
; expression. Regular expression support includes |, ?, (...), {m,n},
; and more. You can search for multiple regular expressions in one pass,
; and optionally search subdirectories. Case-blind searching is an
; option, even in non-English character sets. Regular expressions can
; be found in text or binary files; the registered version can sense
; whether files are text or binary. An interactive program tour is
; included.

;
; GREPSB is a greatly enhanced replacement for DOS FIND and also
; improves on UNIX grep, egrep, and fgrep. It finds all lines or
; records or paragraphs in specified files that contain (or don't
; contain) a string or regular expression. Regular expression support
; includes |, ?, {m,n}, (...), and more. You can search for multiple
; regular expressions in one pass, and optionally search subdirectories.
; Case-blind searching is an option, even in non-English character sets.
; Regular expressions can be found in text or binary files; the
; registered version can sense whether files are text or binary. An
; interactive program tour is included.
;
; Depending on options, GREPSB can output the actual lines, just the
; parts of lines that match, just a count of matches, or just the names
; of files that contain matches. GREPSB can also display context lines
; around the actual matching lines, if you wish. Output can be either
; DOS style (filename as a header above the matching lines) or UNIX
; style (filename on each matching line). You can put frequently-used
; options in an environment variable.
;
; The value in ERRORLEVEL can be tested to determine whether there were
; any matches (useful in batch programs and makefiles).
;
; Two versions are included:
; - The 32-bit version runs in a DOS box under Win 95/98/NT/2000/XP.
; It supports long filenames and very very long lines in files;
; it also supports extended regular expressions.
; - The 16-bit version runs in DOS 2.x and above, including
; DOS boxes in all versions of Windows.
; Long filenames, extended regexes (?, |, {m,n}, (...), more) and
; non-English characters are supported in the 32-bit version. Otherwise
; the two versions are functionally identical.
;
; Principal changes from release 7.4:
; - Paragraph mode (/G2 option) finds regexes that start and end on
; different lines.
; - You no longer need to specify a line length for text files.
; - Text files are read about 16% faster.
; - New tabular format for binary output.
; - A GREP Quick Reference Card is included: it's a Microsoft Word
; file that prints on A4 or US Letter paper.
