Not sure at what point that became part of GNU's version. I actually wrote my own grep, which does have -r, but it requires the POSIX "ftw.h", and I'm not aware of any 16-bit compilers that have that. Rest, Watcom's prolly enough for.

NetBSD grep probably has a bunch of other BSD libc dependencies that would also have to be brought over.

-uso.
