grep is a search utility for searching for occurances of strings in a file
under unix. nothing to do with tcp or host names :)
it's not much use under dos really because the 'find' command does pretty
much the same thing.
try 'find "hello" filename' for instance. (which would be 'grep 'hello' <
filename' under unix)

you ain't got it then ;)
it's with the misc files on dj's site i expect, along with diff and a whole
bunch of other misc unix utils that have been ported.
