As other finicky folks may have noticed, there is a slight
annoyance with the GREP command that comes with all of the 
various TC++ tools (TC, TASM..).

GREP ?  does not properly display the option settings.

It looks like somebody moved a string around and forgot to 
change the offset table that is used to display the +/- settings.

For example, it shows -w+ right out of the box, even though
the default is -w-.  This is only a bug for the last three 
options (-u, -w, -o).  

To fix it, apply the following harmless patch using norton
or your favorite binary editor:

	at file offset 1A89 in GREP.COM 3.0:

		old (wrong) data	92 19 AF 19 C3 19
		new (correct) data	AF 19 C3 19 92 19
