I wonder if there is a restraint on the number of files in a directory 
fgrep will work on  - is it something that can be increased?  See below:

eb@dpnz src]$ cd ../src6
[deb@dpnz src6]$ fgrep -n DNADD * | more
AEADD:63:::                 CHAINR TO DNADD if account is 'D'
AEADD:116:::     DNADD
AEADD:2747::::  to pass fields to DNADD
AEADD:2758:   MOVE 'DNADD' TO WS-CHAINR-PROGRAM
AEADD:2762::: 5/17/00 added to clear shead from DNADD

[deb@dpnz src6]$ cd ../src
[deb@dpnz src]$ fgrep -n DNADD * | more
fgrep: invalid option -- -
Usage: fgrep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try `fgrep --help' for more information.

It worked when I was in a directory with very few files, but gave me an 
error in a directory that had many more files.  This is on 6.2 w/grep
2.4 that came installed stock.
