- I always thought that GREP stood for:
-                                     Global Regular Expression Print
-Although I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. Hope it helps!
-                                         -Salil Athalye
-
-Salil Athalye (UNIX Neophyte!)
-athalyes at lafcol


It stands for "_GUnix _RQuestions _EFrom _PHELL!"

(the `_G', `_R', `_E', and `_P' are all silent).


-When it comes to UNIX,'ignorance is bliss'!

...I think I've found your problem --- too much bliss...
