Hello,

I was trying to do a grep against some html files I got through wget in
Cygwin with the repeated message "Binary file xxx.html matches".  Since grep
thinks they are  binary files I don't get to see any of the lines contained.
Would  anyone  know why this is happening and how to get around this?  The
html files have ^M at the end of  each line but I don't think that should
cause this.  Looking in the FAQ didn't help and I tried google searches
without success.

Thanks,
Ben
