What I'm asking is...is there a product that lets you say, "I want to
see all PCs on my network that I have a file called WIZARD.TXT and I
want to see it *now*, even though I never told my LAN inventory
package before that I care about this file."

We currently use a package which does inventory upon login, which is
fine 99% of the time, but for scanning for non-EXE/DLL files, we have
to tell the software to *gather* this file in, and then wait for
everyone to login (or run around at night :( ).

I'd also want to know if such a package requires a TSR (I would
surprised if it didn't).  Thanks for any help.
