+---------------
| A while back a 'cgrep' program was posted.  While I found the idea good
| (I've often wanted context around grep output), it seemed annoying that
| the program required additional arguments to get context, and didn't
| take regular expressions.
| 
| Then I remembered the 'context' program posted about 9 months ago, and
| used to decipher the output of compiler error messages.
| 
| 	grep -n pattern files | context
| 
| does very nearly just what I want, without having to think about new
| tools and new flags.
+---------------

I wondered when someone would notice that.  That's exactly why I wrote it
(that, and ``make | context'' -- VERY useful).
