I have most of the gnuwin32 utilities but things like rgrep are just shell scripts like: #!/bin/sh exec grep -r "$@" which I can make into ms batch files but then I don't know what to do with them. Would I be able to use your rgrep in my setup? Can it be stripped out of the Emacsw32 stuff? I got web-browser printing from you and that works fine.
