Ah, so it is not pure text! It is "rich text" in html.

Use zgrep instead.

I still have some 8" floppies lying around somewhere. But no drive to read them. Lat year when I cleaned out the attic, I discarded two boxes with paper tape (ASCII wit the high bit as parity bit) and punch cards (EBDDIC). I have no working tape- or card reader any more.

I have seen it almost form the beginning. The first working computer that I saw with my own eys was the ZEBRA. Its main memory was a rotating drum.

AV> You've missed a comma before your name :-)
Yes, and I spelled it wrong. I spelled it as it sounds in "Michael Angelo". But the last syllable should sound like "eel".
