	FINDER by Art Collins of Sacramento, California based FREDDY FILE
FINDER, Inc., successfully finds text, word-processing, data base, spread
sheet, EXE, and COM files by phrase content.  It matches input character
strings to the text in one or more files.  The search can cover a complete
disk drive or diskette, a directory with sub-directories, or a single
directory.  The output gives complete path names of all files for which a
match is found.  The paragraphs containing the match can be viewed.  Match-
ing can be on the basis of a complete input phrase, the words in the phrase
scattered throughout the file, or the same words "near" each other.

	FINDER helps if:

1)	You are up against a deadline and need a critical file to complete
	the job, but can't remember what you called it, or where it is.

2)	Data base research requires tabulation of all the files on a disk
	drive or in a group of directories, which contain a specific phrase
	or word, such as the customer or project name.

3)	The names or locations of files on a disk drive are unknown, due
	to unavailability of a key employee, or because the data base is
	ten years old.

	Disk drives are getting larger and larger.  They can now contain
1000s of files in 100s of directories.  If strict records of files and
directories are not kept, it is easy to "lose" files.  Locating them by
content can be virtually impossible.

	FREDDY FILE FINDER finds those "lost" files with a single command.
The program is user friendly, and input is simple yet effective.  FREDDY
FILE FINDER finds your files and outputs the complete file paths to an
output file for easy reference now and in the future.
