- Description:
-
- AGREP is a port of the UNIX utility for searching text files. It is similar
- to grep, egrep, fgrep but faster and much more general. The two most
- significant features of agrep that are not supported by the grep family are:
- * the ability to search for approximate patterns
- * agrep is record-oriented rather than just line-oriented
-
- Included is a desktop interface for those with the Desktop Development
- Environment (DDE).
