I think he e-mailed it to one person once before (so they could search

that person nor he ever published it online or anything, so I never
found it.
Read this article below (where he basically defends asm optimization
vs. compilers before ultimately saying "[xgrep] was a staggering waste
of time" ... doh!):

Who doesn't? (Oh yeah, lots of people, but why??)
I forgot that PCRE50B.ZIP has PCREGREP.EXE (137k or 70k w/ UPX 2.92 --
ultra-brute). Maybe you'll like that.
(Can't find a link, go figure ... just e-mail me if you want it.
Someone know where to get this?)

New? Yes. Slow? Yes but good (and you only have to do it once).

Better than nothing! :-)

BTW, sorry, but I'm not so experienced in CVS, so I can't really help
there. My wording "check out" was kinda a play on words: "co" (a la
RCS) or just "take a look". ;-)
