Contents of the README file

This archive is a MSDOS version of an "fgrep" utility ported from
XENIX to Computer Innovations C86 (quite simple, actually). It uses
the Boyer-Moore algorithm for parallel string searches. On XENIX it
really blows the real fgrep program away in performance. However, in
MSDOS, the FIND command is still a bit faster, albeit more limited.
In the archive:
bgrep.exe is the executable C86 program
bm.exe is another executable created with the XENIX/DOS cross-development
system. Note larger executable size.
bm.man is the manual entry.
bgrep is a Makefile, usable with Microsoft MAKE Version 4.0, only slightly
hacked from the UNIX make.
The C86 version seemed at first to run MUCH slower that the Microsoft
version until I changed the file opening from an ASCII open to a BINARY
open. After that, the times seemed very close, with C86 having a slight
edge. I'd put money on the next version of C86 leaving Microsoft C in
the dust.
