Summary: MKS toolkit does it - and much more:

< Are there any programs for MS-DOS that do the same things as the Unix

< that does one of these, how about sending it to me or telling me where
< I can ftp get it?  If there are commercial products, I would

MKS Toolkit (Mortice Kern Systems) provides diff, grep, and much much more
for under $100.  You also get the Korn shell, vi, etc. etc.
You get input output redirection, pipes, and most of the UN*X goodies.
It works great.  It makes MS-DOS look like UN*X, except, unfortunately
no multitasking.
