It seems that this is the one distributed with FDOS 1.3: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/1.3/pkg-html/grep.html It's a port of GNU grep 2.0 (1992). It does not support recursion by itself yet (-r). Therefore one would need a real mode port of GNU or BSD find, which unfortunately does not seem to be available for FreeDOS. Couple options then: 1. Add /S support to FDOS FIND; 2. Port GNU or BSD find (circa 1992 to keep things simple) to FDOS using Open Watcom (grep has been ported to DOS using MSC). _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
