I use PCtools "SMART Find" program for this.  PCtools is available from 
Central Point software.  While SMART find has numerous advantages ofer 
DOS for this sort of thing, what I appreciate most is the ability to 
Select files by their NETWARE ATTRIBUTES in addition to their DOS 
attributes.

The reason this is so helpful may not be immediately obvious.  However, 
If I copy a File from my PC to a Network drive, its DOS Creation date 
would be the original file create date (lets assume its an old file).  
Its NETWARE Last Access date would be TODAY (a new file)

This is how I clean up Public directories.  Selecting all files that 
haven't been accessed in the past 30 Days are deleted.  Takes only a few 
seconds!
