	You can find wc, ls, cut, paste, uuencode/uudecode, compress,
less, head, tail, sed (GNU version), find, grep, strings, ... on various
Fish Disks.

	The best one I've seen is a port of the GNU "grep/egrep" programs.
They are FAST FAST FAST.  GNU egrep ran 8 times faster than the Decus "grep"
I was using previously.
	It is available on a fairly recent Fish Disk.  Anonymous FTP to
uxe.cso.uiuc.edu and/or mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu and/or uihub.cs.uiuc.edu
will find most or all of these programs.
