Well, it is useful for anyone working with languages not covered by
ASCII or the ISO/IEC code tables. Myself working with North Sámi, I
would have had a hard time without a working grep command, but 2.5.1
works fine for multi-byte Unicode text, and is just what I need.
Some unix commands (rev, etc.) do not handle multibyte characters,
but grep does. Based on my expericences on the Mac, I would recommend
using a recent bash shell (3.00) (older shells have BCKSP deleting
only one byte at a time, cumbersome with Unicode).
As for the initial question to the thread, I would suggest using
putty.exe or something similar and having the students connected to a
linux box.
But yes, there are situations when people will insist on using
Windows, so if anyone has a reference to a set of DOS commands
duplicating the top-ten-or-so unix commands for text processing (if
something along that line exists), it would be nice to know.
