GNU grep for TKERN is a port of GNU's UNIX grep to the MS-Windows
TKERN. If you do not already have TKERN, you will need to get it.
You will also need to get a command line shell which uses TKERN
such as TSH.

Due to the magnitude of the changes required to get GNU grep to
run in a 16 bit environment such as MS-Windows, there are too
many changes in this version to get the changes merged back into
the original GNU grep, so this will probably be the only version
of GNU grep for TKERN to ever be released.

            -----------

This is GNU grep 2.0, the "fastest grep in the west" (we hope).  All
bugs reported in previous releases have been fixed.  Many exciting new
bugs have probably been introduced in this major revision.

GNU grep is provided "as is" with no warranty.  The exact terms
under which you may use and (re)distribute this program are detailed
in the GNU General Public License, in the file COPYING.

GNU grep is based on a fast lazy-state deterministic matcher (about
twice as fast as stock Unix egrep) hybridized with a Boyer-Moore-Gosper
search for a fixed string that eliminates impossible text from being
considered by the full regexp matcher without necessarily having to
look at every character.  The result is typically many times faster
than Unix grep or egrep.  (Regular expressions containing backreferencing
will run more slowly, however.)
