jgrep - grep clone with additional options

A grep for Text Files. This was originally created for use on MS-DOS ages ago. Since then it went through many rewrites to remove/add functionality to search large dumps from various databases. Now I believe it has everything I need to search these database dumps.

In most cases you should use grep(1), but it has a few odd search options that grep(1) may not yet have. For example, this is useful when searching delimited files when you want to search a specific column.

This works fine under Linux, BSD(s) and AIX.

Compile Instructions are in the README.md File inside the tarball.
