The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Turns out I read the wrong google entry first. There are many guesses as to
the meaning of grep. The more likely, IMO, are
global regular expression [and] print (or substitute general for global)
general[-ized] regular expression parser (or substitute pattern-matcher for
parser)
This is an instance of an interesting phenomenon, I think, viz., that a
symbol or acronym has more functional meaning than what it originally stood
for. The same thing has happened to LPEX, in our environment.
End of this thread for me.
