You should try with grep-2.5e on alpha.

I thought, I released another beta grep-2.5f on alpha before
going in to hybernation ... but do no see it.  So you might like
to check the main branch:

via CVS:
$ cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/cvs login
Password: [just hit enter]
$ cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/cvs checkout grep

I'm still not out from hibernation ...
i.e. I'm a little busy right now.
