It seems that any version later than 8.37 cannot be piped to another
process.

Specifically, I tend to use the command "dmc | grep -i blahblah" when
looking for a command option. On 8.38+, this just puts a "Error: No files
specified" to stderr. Weird.

If you're using my grep.exe, it doesn't read from stdin, hence the message.

Ah. It must be different paths. (I normally use the Borland one)

Any reason why your grep couldn't be "enhanced"?

Nobody seems to care <g>. It's a simple program I wrote because none of the
other greps would work right on binary files.

I'd find it useful.

Can you add it to the list?

No <g>. Bug reports come first.
