I have retrieved grep-2.5.1a.tar.gz from GNU and built it under
djdev 2.04 on Windows XP with no trouble even  though the djgpp
folder was empty.  I mention it here because it provides yet
another version of symlink.  egrep is a 33 byte script,

    #!/bin/sh
    exec grep -E ${1+"$@"}

formed during the build, rather than the install stage.  Like
its 510 byte counterpart it requires running bash to function
properly. Only other test, "> sh ./egrep --help,"  gave a
response starting with "grep" rather than the proper "egrep"

IMHO the 2K stub is the way to go.  Having the file utilities
recognize it as a link would be frosting on the cake.

Regards,
Frank
