WANT is GIFTWARE. That means if you like it and use it, you may
send us a Gift. A birthday card or email would be nice.
If you distribute the program, distribute the entire package.
You may upload WANT to any BBS or archive. WANT may be freely
distributed on club disks, by Amiga Reports and by Mr. Fred Fish.
See below for a list of filenames to be included.
WANT is free to use and copy as you see fit. The Authors retain all
rights to the program. The Authors are not responsible for any
damage the program may cause.
WANT was tested on a 4000, 3000, 2000, 600, and a 1200 without problems.
This is the first release of WANT. The next release will include a
preferences section that allows you to preset groups of files to be
searched. Predefined search terms and context lines for each group of
files may be set. If you have any ideas about features WANT should
include, please contact the authors. We wrote WANT so we could search
INDEXES, RECENTS, and Fishlists, but we soon found other uses for it.
We would really like to hear from you. If you find a character that
causes problems with a search, please let us know.

to it. Look in dev/c for it.
