>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.

>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

>3)      The names or locations of files on a disk drive are unknown, due

Yes, I am frustrated by people like you that use this forum to pursue their own financial gane.
