Tgrep2 executables

Tgrep2 is a really useful piece of software written by Doug Rohde (not me - notice the slight difference in name...). The source code and more information are available at http://tedlab.mit.edu/~dr/TGrep2/. We used tgrep2 extensively in preparing this paper:

The default version of tgrep2 has a limit on the length of the search pattern that it can handle (determined by the the MAX_FILENAME parameter in system.h in the drutils distribution). Since some of our search patterns are longer than the default can handle, we ended up recompiling tgrep2 with a larger value to allow our search patterns to work. Here are some pre-compiled binaries for some of the different machines that I've been working on at various different times (provided just in case they might be of use - they work on the machines I have access to. If they don't work for you, I probably can't help you):
