No grep -A possible under Solaris ?

All,

On linux I can type grep -A 2 -B 3 patern file.

This means that the result will show 2 lines AFTER (A) and 3 lines BEFORE (B) the pattern in the file.

On Solaris, those options do not exist.

1. Any idea how I can simulate those options on Solaris ?
2. How can I put the linux-ping under Solaris ?

Tnx in advance.

1: install gnu grep
2: what ping options are you missing ?

He probably means the 'ping -s' in solaris that spits out the same output as 'ping' in linux.

I am sorry, but the "ping" was a typo, for " grep" .

I installed GNU grep and it works like a champ.

tnx for your reactions.
