-
- This is GNU fgrep version 1.1 for MS-DOS.
-
- SOURCE CODE
-
- The makefile assumes that you have a copy of the gnulib, which
- contains ports of several general purpose (regular expressions,
- directory access, filename globbing, etc.) GNU functions for MS-DOS.
- You can get it from the same place where you picled up this archive.
-
- GNU fgrep is known to compile with Microsoft C Version 5.1 or 6.0.
- Reports of successful compilation by other compilers (and the
- eventually necessary context diffs) are very much appreciated.
-
- Note that the obstacks are *not* working yet with far pointers. If
- you want to use fgrep for larger keyword sets (>40) you need far
- pointers and have to use ordinary malloc (). We hope to fix this in
- the near future.
-
-
- EXECUTABLE CODE
-
- For convenience, ready-to-execute binaries are also provided for those
- who do not have the necessary compilers, or do not feel like using
- them. User documentation is usually not provided, at least for now,
- beyond the documentation provided in the official GNU distribution.
