"dd conv=unblock cbs=80 - really grep replacement"

[Brandon S. Allbery]

As quoted from <145 at insyte.UUCP> by jad at insyte.UUCP (Jill Diewald):
+---------------
| Ideally, grep could be passed a record size which it would use instead
| of newlines.  And/Or grep could be told to only search specified columns
| of every record.  This would enable me to easily deal with these files 
| without tieing up either memory or disk space.
+---------------

	dd if=... conv=unblock cbs=... | cut -c... | grep ...

(or replace "dd" with an unblocker program)

Cro-magnons win out over Neanderthals again.  ;-)

-> If you don't have "cut", that should tell you something.  What it tells
you depends on which variant of Unix you have.
