I'm not sure whether this is a problem with gnu tools or a DJGPP
port-related problem, but here goes:

If I use grep v2.4 under Win95 like this

   grep "string" file

it lists to the screen just fine.  If I try to pipe it through "more"

   grep "string" file | more

the DOS line terminators change to Unix line terminators, and the screen
output is a mess.  The same problem exists with file redirection; there
it's fixable
by using the sequence

   grep "string" file >tempfile
   utod tempfile
   more <tempfile
   del tempfile

but that's a nuisance.

I did a little digging in the grep source, but was unsuccessful in
isolating the problem.
