Dear Cygwinners

For the interesting and common use of 'find'+'grep' I have created a 
Perl programme called findgrep. I runs well on Unix and Windows and 
handles the case insensitiveness required for everyday searches. 
Although the programme isn't as advanced or fast as 'find'+'grep' I 
have many satisfied users. The programme is free. You'll find it at:
