We are getting ready to go from DOS 3.3 to 4.01 so we can use our larger
disks more effectively. As a result of having many partitions, there are
many batch files that refer to E: or F: that will have to be modified when
those partitions go away. So the question is:
 Is there any way to use DOS filters (like FIND) to print a list of the
batch files that contain an "E:" or an "F:"? The problem with useing FIND
directly is that it won't take wild cards so I'd have to manually feed it
all the batch file names. (computers are suppose to be smart) :-)

Please reply by E-Mail as I am way behind in reading news.

   Thanks to all (any) who answer...		-ted-
