 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 you as a linkable object later this fall. We are still adding features
 to it. Look in dev/c for it.
