PD filepath or search programs?

Has anyone ever stumbled upon a PD version of filepath or search.
These programs allows others to find files not in the currently logged
disk or directory. ( although I'm not certain how this would work.. anyone?)

I use a great little PD program called search.  It is memory resident, and
allows most programs to find most files that are not in the current disk/dir.
It is very small, only 3584Bytes for the .com file.  The only drawback is that
you need to have diskettes in all of the drives specified in your search path
(except for the hard drives of course, good luck jamming a floppy in there :-)

I would go ahead and post it except for the recent warnings from the powers
that be about posting excecutables here.  If enough people send mail asking
for it, I will go ahead and post it though.  If you send a mail request,
please mention if you think that net.micro.pc or net.sources would be a more
appropriate place.

I have a program called SEARCH that acts like the PATH environment variable,
except that it works for data files as well as executable files.  Specific
example: it lets you keep Wordstar in one directory and your text in various
other directories.  In ARCed, uuencoded form, it's about 8 kbytes.

In light of the outcries against posting code to this net, I am holding off.
If I get one or two requests, I'll try emailing it; if I get too many requests
I'll post it despite the outcries (if I get no requests I'll suck my toes (:-)

This short program will do the job.  Uudecode it and extract it with ARC.
I hope no one gets upset at my passing an executable through the net. It's
only a kilobyte.

I was using search as well, and quite happily for about a year.  It is
great, and I am most upset that I can't use it now.  Unfortunately, it
seems to intereact badly with MSC4.0.  If search is resident, MSC hangs
my machine so badly I have to use the little red button on the back of
the machine, but MSC works fine without it.  So, I am on a search for
a program that will perform like search, but not hang MSC4.0, however,
if you don't use the C compiler, I would heartily recommend it.  

If any one knows of anyother similar programs, or a version of search
that works ok with MSC, I am verry interested.

             Thanks,

                      S. John Banner
