NAME
       mgrep - search mimencoded files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS
       mgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION
       Mgrep is used to invoke the grep on mimencoded files. All options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified, then the
       standard input is mimdecoded and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are mimdecoded and fed to grep.

       If mgrep is invoked as megrep or mfgrep then egrep or fgrep is used instead of grep.  If the GREP environment variable is set,  mgrep  uses
       it as the grep program to be invoked. For example:

	   for sh:  GREP=fgrep	mgrep string files
	   for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; mgrep string files)
