David, Let's take a look at this for a second. First, you're telling me that the File|Search facility in File Manager serves the same function as ONE of the modules in WinHound, although you "dunno about search speed". So, you're telling me and all the other folks out there that a program you haven't even tried yet can't possibly be as good as something which is admittedly slower than slow. And you call your company "Business Visions"? Somewhat inappropriately named to put it mildly. Secondly, yes of course there's always grep. But why not use a program which integrates the two functions? Yes there are word processors, spread sheets, and presentation programs as well... but I hear Microsoft Office is doing rather well. I don't mind criticism, but try the program first for God's sake! Thanks, Dave Verschleiser Q&D Software Development
