There is in the public domain, a program called SEARCH. I use it on my XT all the time. It works great, especially with VolksWriter, since it has to find all of its files. To get a copy, call the Nicolet BBS: NICBUL. It is on line from 6pm to 8am M-F and all day on weekends (CT). The number is (608) 273-5037. If you can't call in, check your local BBS. If you can't do that, let me know via e-mail and I will try and get to you the binary uuencoded. -- ihnp4------\ harvard-\ \ Mr. Video seismo!uwvax!nicmad!brown topaz-/ / decvax------/
