Sure, they're around.  I've seen them in MacWrite format; they'd be fairly easy to put into ASCII.  Of course, I'm not sure grep is what you want to do to them.
You'd either have to combine them into one multi-MB file (grep then gets slow) 
or grep through many different files.

Of course, you could write something that would concurrently grep all your
stuff, then have the first one to find what you're looking for kill off the
others.  I think a perverted index would be nicer.
