6 GNU grep, Utilities, fast file search and replace tool  D This is GNU grep 2.0, the "fastest grep in the west" (we hope).  AllF bugs reported in previous releases have been fixed.  Many exciting new: bugs have probably been introduced in this major revision.  ? GNU grep is provided "as is" with no warranty.  The exact terms D under which you may use and (re)distribute this program are detailed7 in the GNU General Public License, in the file COPYING.   C GNU grep is based on a fast lazy-state deterministic matcher (about G twice as fast as stock Unix egrep) hybridized with a Boyer-Moore-Gosper D search for a fixed string that eliminates impossible text from beingC considered by the full regexp matcher without necessarily having to C look at every character.  The result is typically many times faster I than Unix grep or egrep.  (Regular expressions containing backreferencing  will run more slowly, however.)   B See the file AUTHORS for a list of authors and other contributors.  C See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions.   ? See the file MANIFEST for a list of files in this distribution.   E See the file NEWS for a description of major changes in this release.   = See the file PROJECTS if you want to be mentioned in AUTHORS.   > Send bug reports to bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.
