I didn't notice any sky-is-falling arguments in this thread, so I finally started looking around to see why such nasty replies keep showing up to what I considered reasonable questions... So, I finally looked back into the "replacement for grep" thread (which I have been ignoring ever since it stopped talking about the grep replacement), and I see this topic is being thrashed to death over there. I still think there could be some useful discussion on what I was *trying* to talk about here, but I guess it will have to wait until some other time given how exasperated people are getting. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
