  Our sight is looking for a solid Modula-2 compiler that runs under 4.xBSD
or Ultrix.  We need something that is (hopefully) less buggy than the
Powell compiler.  Please email recomendations (commercial or public domain
compilers).  Thanks in advance.

We've all heard the story that grep gets its name from the command in old
Unix "ed": g/r.e./p where r.e. stands for regular expression. Although
this may be true, it is hard to believe that it is the whole truth.

"Grep" is also named for "greps" the Yiddish word for "belch."

I always thought grep was an acronym:
 General Regular Expression Processor.

Well?
