	Somewhere in the past year I'd found the DECUS grep utility.
	The other day someone here complained that it didn't support
	wildcards on the filenames, so they reckoned it was useless...
	
	A quick search turned up the ELVIS vi clone sources, which contain
	a neat trick. the VMSWILD.C include file allows you to have wildcard
	support quite easily. After about 10 minutes, GREP now supports
	wildcards :-)

	if you're interested, ftp (anonymous) to coco.cchs.su.oz.au
	ftp> cd [.grep]

	I hope this isn't some old, old hack that everyone already has... :-}
