Flair - Take Linux OS for example, Linux OS does not include "grep". In fact, "grep" is from GNU. Every linux installation I've ever seen includes grep. RedHat, Debian, you name it, they all include grep. Grep is not from GNU. There is a GNU grep, just like there's a GNU everything else, but that doesn't mean that they're all a GNU product. grep existed long before Stallman thought of GNU, AFAIK. There is a commerical service to provide GNU (ksh, emacs, vi, gcc, make, tcl, etc.) software on Windows NT. It's also available for free. If you feel the need to pay for it, go ahead. I prefer to get my s/w for free. -justinb
