This is to announce that the DJGPP port of GNU Grep, version 2.2, is
available from SimTel.NET mirrors.  Here's the main mirror:

  ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/grep22b.zip
  ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/grep22s.zip

This is mainly a bug-fix release.  The only significant bug which was
the main reason for the GNU Grep maintainer to release it release, was
already corrected in the DJGPP port of Grep 2.1.  So if you have Grep
2.1, and don't care much about having the latest and the gratest, you
might as well stay with 2.1.

For those who don't know: Grep is a package of 3 programs whose
purpose is to search files for strings: either fixed strings, or
regular expressions, which are generalization of strings.  One feature
of Grep that's frequently overlooked, btw, is its ability to look for
many different strings in parallel, and do it almost at the same speed
as if it were looking for a single string.

Btw, this hardly qualifies as a ``port'', since Grep supports DJGPP in 
the official FSF distribution.
