Description:

AGREP is a port of the UNIX utility for searching text files.  It is similar
to grep, egrep, fgrep but faster and much more general.  The two most
significant features of agrep that are not supported by the grep family are:
* the ability to search for approximate patterns
* agrep is record-oriented rather than just line-oriented

Included is a desktop interface for those with the Desktop Development
Environment (DDE).
