Origin of the name grep (actually Eunice!)

Eunice could support links like UNIX does, because one can have multiple
directory entries for a single file (as long as all the directories are on
the same device.  In fact, there used to be a switch on PIP (/EN I think)
which performed the operation.  The only problem is that if the file is
deleted by any of the name it is removed from the system.  It is much harder
if not imposible to implement the remove command for these links.
