To see what I mean: first set "unix output format" permanently on: GREP -u -o and then do: GREP ? to display the new permanent settings. It will show that the "w" option is "on" (wrong) and that the "o" is off (also wrong). This is due to a mix-up in an internal table of display offsets within the program. I have found and patched this in all three versions of the C++ package (TC++ 1.00, 1.01, and BC++ 2.00). Incidently, it would be REALLY HELPFUL if Borland would increment the version numbers on the utility programs when they change the programs!! All three "versions" of GREP are marked as 3.0, even though they are not identical. I have the patches somewhere if needed. -- MLORD@BNR.CA Ottawa, Ontario *** Personal views only *** begin 644 NOTSHARE.COM ; Free MS-DOS utility - use instead of SHARE.EXE MZQ.0@/P/=`J`_!9T!2[_+H``L/_/+HX&+`"T2
