Subject:	ANNOUNCE: Grep 2.1 uploaded
MIME-Version:	1.0

This is to announce that the DJGPP port of GNU Grep version 2.1 has
been uploaded to SimTel.NET and should be available from your nearest
mirror, in the v2gnu directory:

  ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/grep21b.zip
  ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/grep21s.zip

Beginning with this release, the official GNU Grep distribution
supports building with DJGPP tools.  However, please note that the
ported distribution on SimTel.NET has two minor bugs corrected (they
were reported to FSF after the package was already released).  One of
these bugs prevented Grep from complaining about non-existent files.

This release is mostly a bug-fix: no significant changes were
introduced (but see the file NEWS for details).  One change that's
important for DOS is that Grep will now skip directories, thus
avoiding the annoying "Access denied" message.

Please read the DJGPP-specific README file in the distribution, before
you begin using the programs.

For those who don't know: Grep is a package of 3 programs to search
files for strings of text.  `fgrep' searches for simple strings, can
search for many strings in parallel, and is *very* fast; `grep' and
`egrep' search for regular expressions, which are patterns that
describe sets of strings (`egrep' supports a wider class of regular
expressions, but is somewhat slower).
