On our system we have a cgrep which seems to do what you want.  I took
a look at the sources.  It carries the following notice:

**   Cgrep - a program to extract context from text files.
**	by David J. Iannucci @@ Saint Joseph's University, Philadelphia
**						  iannucci@@sjuvax.UUCP

**			Copyright (c) 1986

**	You may do anything you like with this program except:
**		1.  Use it to direct commercial advantage.
**		2.  Take credit for any code I have written.

I don't where we got this from (maybe one of the source groups?).
