A while ago I posted an implementation of egrep that I had found in
comp.sources.unix on uunet.uu.net.  After working with it quite a bit,
though, I discovered that it was designed to be an add-on for a system
that had an existing egrep (bleh!).  So, if you grabbed the egrep
I posted a while ago, it's probably a good idea to blow it away :-(

I obtained the GNU grep package, and it includes what looks like a full
implementation of egrep.  It compiled under MINIX using gcc without many
troubles other than the little problems with MINIX's include files.

Apologies to the net for wasting bandwidth.
