A fair question.  The answer is the following.  Because a well
written browse util can combine useful information from two (or even
more) related files.  I suggested this (for INDEX with descriptions
and _dir.lst with file sizes and dates) to Michael Sanders who is
writing an update of his Garbo browser.

Grep is very useful, but it does not give you the directory
information from the standard Garbo and SIMTEL20 file lists, nor (on
Garbo) the file sizes and dates.

(If simple, make it complicated, if straight-forward, confuse the
issue, if still not fuzzy enough, invite a comittee, and finally, if
nothing else fails to kill it, let's make it a public administration
issue :-). 

   All the best, Timo
