I'd like to know if anyone could point me towards a source for the following
applications, preferably in the public domain:

  * A cdev or da Macintosh version of Unix "grep."  It should have the standard
Mac interface (as good as Find File, for instance), be able to search through
many types of text files (e.g., Word4.0, MacWrite, TeachText, MPW, plain TEXT,
unspecified, ...), and have all the usual options (case sensitive or not, line
number in file, wildcards, ...).  I've seen a couple of limited
implementations, but hope that better exists.  

  * An INIT or application that can read time from some external source and
update the system clock.  It would be best if it did this via MacTCP.  

Any other information on useful Unix-like utilities (e.g., diffmk, diff) would
also be appreciated.  Reply via e-mail to:

    dwj@nvuxr.cc.bellcore.com

If I get enough positive responses, I'll post the list back to the net. 
Thanks!

David Jarrett
