GNU find 3.7 is now available by anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu
[18.71.0.38] in the file pub/gnu/find-3.7.tar.Z.  The tar file also
contains the xargs and locate (fast-find) programs.
The compressed tar file is about 230k.

GNU find contains many tests and actions not present in other versions
of find.  It minimizes stat calls to gain speed; for many expressions,
it runs two or more times as fast as AT&T's find.

Major changes in release 3.7:

* locate can search multiple databases
* locate has an option to specify the database path
* updatedb no longer goes into an infinite loop with some versions of tail

Please send bug reports for this software to the mailing list
