This version of GNU Grep was posted to BIX. Below is the description
from the BIX listings area.
ggrep.zoo 129024 Approx time (min):133 at 300 baud, 33 at 1200 baud
Contributed by: egreen Date: Sun Dec 24 02:48:20 1989
Latest GNU GREP off of MIT-PREP, modified to use decent amount of
stack. This one only uses 4-5K of stack, instead of 25K like the
previous version. This is GNU Grep version 1.5, which fixes two
minor problems with GNU Grep version 1.4 (on which the previous
Amiga version was based) -- it returns the correct return code
for # of matches, and if you compile it -dEGREP, it now doesn't
have to be named "egrep" for that option to actually mean
something.
Keywords: $binary fsf gnu, grep, search, unix,

Below is a slightly reformatted version of the README file that Eric
included in his distribution:
I hate to add to the plethora of README files afflicting this
release, but....
Welcome. This is the latest GNU EGREP version 1.5 straight off of
MIT-PREP, with a few modifications here and there to make it live
in a decent amount of stack. The original needed at least 25K of
stack to run. This one needs around 6K or so.
This version is compiled with Lattice "C" version 5.02. I have
written a Lmkfile for "lmk". This one works with "lmk", for some
odd reason ("lmk" has some silly bugs, at least in 5.02).
If you find bugs, please report them to me, Eric Green, at:

I'll try to duplicate them in "virgin" GNU code on a BSD system,
and see if they're inherent in the code, or problems with the
Amiga port. That way we won't bother the GNU folks with problems
with my own programming.
And finally, here is the original README file sent in with Jonathan Hue's
submission of an earlier version of GnuGrep:
This is the GNU projects grep program. It replaces grep, fgrep,
egrep, and bmgrep. The only changes I made were those required
to get it to compile and run correctly on the Amiga. I also forced
the code to go through a common clean up and exit function as I am
still unconvinced Lattice C 5.02 cleans up properly in all
situations.
Even though it is twice the size of the grep that comes with Lattice
C, it is far faster, and offers many more features.
The egrep binary was created with the following command line:
lc -L -DUSG -DEGREP egrep.c alloca.c dfa.c getopt.c regex.c
This means it uses the characters under the EGREP column in the man
page. Egrep needs about 15K of stack space.
