Yes, you were purposefully being obtuse -- sure memory is free and there to be used, but so what? doesn't mean every little program should slurp files for the fun of it to avoid an extra 5 lines of code

Unless I'm mistaken, the Solaris grep doesn't support -B -A or -C and there's no native grep on Windows.

Also, ack is egrep
