What's the DOS equivalent of the Unix find-grep combo for searching

Put in other words, more simply, how do I find within \freedos hierarchy
which text files have the string "foobar" occurring in them?

Looking for a DOS-centric way of doing that.  As last resort I know I
can always install DJGPP's find and grep.

On PC DOS 7, there's find /s, but I don't think any other version of DOS (including DR DOS or Win9x) supports that and I have no idea about FreeDOS.
