INTRODUCTION
Thanks for downloading Windows Grep, and taking the time to evaluate
it.
THIS VERSION OF WINDOWS GREP REQUIRES WINDOWS
3.1. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A VERSION THAT RUNS UNDER
3.0, CONTACT ME AT ONE OF THE ADDRESSES BELOW.
Windows Grep is a text search utility modelled on the UNIX utility of
the same name. It is particularly useful as a programmer's tool for
searching program source files for specific variables or function
calls. This version also searches any type of binary file, such as
word-processor, database and spreadsheet files.
The Windows help file gives detailed information about using it.

PACKING LIST
WGREP.EXE Main program
WGREP.HLP Help for main program
GREP.DLL Required DLL
WGREP.TXT This file
BWCC.DLL Borland Windows Custom Control Library (if you
downloaded the archive with this included)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLING WINDOWS GREP
To install Windows Grep, simply put the files WGREP.EXE, GREP.DLL,
WGREP.HLP in any convenient directory.
Windows Grep requires the Borland Windows Custom Control library. If
the archive has BWCC.DLL in it put this in your \windows\system
directory. If not, and you do not have a copy, you'll have to get one
before Windows Grep will work. It can be obtained from cix in
petec/files,in CompuServe forum BPROGA and doubtless many other
sources.
If Windows cannot find the DLLs when Windows Grep is run, make sure
they are in a directory on your path, and try again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE GREP DLL
The regular expression compiler and parser is implemented in a
Shareware DLL written by Chris Roberts. For further information about
using it in your own programs, please contact Chris at the following

ENHANCEMENTS MADE AFTER HELP FILE WAS WRITTEN
WGREP.INI
ChDir=0 or 1 Adding this line to WGREP.INI controls whether Windows
Grep changes directory to the directory saved the last
time it was run or not.
ChDir=1 Change directory.
ChDir=0 Don't change. Start the search in the
default directory, or the one set up
in Program Manager.
Binary viewer command
$m An additional parameter is recognised in the binary
file viewer command line. $m is expanded to the match
length in hexadecimal. This is so Windows Grep can be
used in conjunction with WinDump v1.1 Release 1.1.
The command line to drive WinDump is
WinDump.exe $f $o $m
WinDump can be obtained from John Napier, 1 Wayside
Green, Woodcote, Reading, RG8 0PR, United Kingdom.
John can be contacted on CompuServe as 100023,201 or
jnapier@cix.compulink.co.uk.

Windows Grep is a shareware program, and is provided at no charge to

same time to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop
new products.

after the trial period of 30 days, you must make a registration
payment of UK10 pounds or US$20 to Huw Millington, 71 Woodbury Avenue,

will be good for all future Shareware releases of Windows Grep. You
will be informed when such releases become available.
The registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer
at any one time. Site Licence arrangements may be made by contacting
Huw Millington.
Any person or organisation wanting to distribute Windows Grep for
profit must first contact Huw Millington at the address above for
authorisation.
