Maybe your 'more' is out of date?



>> grep 'something$'

You're right.  Interesting.  Shouldn't be a major obstacle to fixing this,
given that the alternative with non-text (non-LF,non-CRLF) is to say "Binary
file XYZ matches".  I.e., there shouldn't be a problem treating CR as the
end of the line, right?  But I haven't looked at the source, so maybe it
would be difficult...


Thanks,
