Jeanette,

Uwe Rommel has ported what I believe is the GNU GREP, and quite a
few other Unix utilities, to OS/2.  I obtained my copy from
LISTSERV@BLEKUL11.BITNET, which I've found to be an excellent source
for OS/2 utilities.  I believe it's also available from
comp.binaries.os2, though I've not looked.
