Besides, none of the standard grep implementations that I know of handle Unicode (at least not in any useful way).
Gnu grep 2.5.1 supports Unicode, though I guess it's debatable just how useful it is. The next version is supposed to be much better on that front.
Well, it is useful for anyone working with languages not covered by ASCII or the ISO/IEC code tables. Myself working with North Sámi, I would have had a hard time without a working grep command, but 2.5.1 works fine for multi-byte Unicode text, and is just what I need.
Some unix commands (rev, etc.) do not handle multibyte characters, but grep does. Based on my expericences on the Mac, I would recommend using a recent bash shell (3.00) (older shells have BCKSP deleting only one byte at a time, cumbersome with Unicode).
As for the initial question to the thread, I would suggest using putty.exe or something similar and having the students connected to a linux box.
But yes, there are situations when people will insist on using Windows, so if anyone has a reference to a set of DOS commands duplicating the top-ten-or-so unix commands for text processing (if something along that line exists), it would be nice to know.
