    Under Tru64 is there a way to grep a file for a match and then once the
    match is found return the line and then get the next 3 lines.

    I found on the web that grep supports a -A num or -B num that supports
    this, but under Tru64 the grep command doesn't know the -A or -B.

    Thanks,

    Howard
