AUTHORS

This version of the zgrep utility was written by Thomas Klausner <Mt wiz@NetBSD.org>.

BUGS

zgrep(1) does not handle flags that take arguments if there is no whitespace between the flag and the argument, for example:

zgrep -enfs /etc/rpc

When more than one -e flag is used matching should occur for any of the patterns (similar to multiple patterns supplied in a file with the -f flag). zgrep(1) only matches the last -e pattern.
