In article <1989Dec13.173757.11327@uncecs.edu> $ $I Have started to use 4DOS instead of COMMAND.COM and like 4DOS very $much. However, I have been able to find a string search (FIND) function $but have not found a file search/locator function, similar to a $WHEREIS.COM. Am I missing something, or does no version of 4DOS $have this yet? You might try CHKDSK /V | FIND "filename" where filename is in capital letters. This is fairly quick and produces a clean output. One note however is that if there is any lost clusters your machine will appear to hang, but fear not a control C (^C) will regain the prompt to correct this problem just do a CHKDSK /F. Let me know if this helps. I set up an alias, alias lo*cate `CHKDSK /V | FIND "%1"`. -- What can I say, fuvg unccraf. Returns to sender: uw-beaver!pilchuck!seahcx!phred!stevel
