I don't remember, the last time I looked at that stuff was the last century. I doubt it. But I'm always complaining about not having grep :-)

I'm a big fan of doing things natively, and complaining about Windows.  Which is funny, because when I start at a site I'll put some amount of work into making .profile or whatever just to my taste, but won't add a whole lot to a Windows box - eventually I'm always forced to go to sysinternals.com to get tools to prove SMS is screwing up my cpu usage or whatever. I really oughta just make it a habit of giving myself a korn shell and telling customers to live with it, they need POSIX.2 conformity. But I'm a wuss, and don't want to argue with MS-biased IS managers about downloads.
