The current discussion of gres triggered a memory of seeing it
mentioned. I just followed up on that memory. Page 111 of 
'The UNIX Programming Environment' says "Programs do die, however.
There was once a program called gres that did simple substitution,
but it expired almost immediately when sed was born."
