- FFIND.COM serches file(s) under specified name(s).
- (ver.1.33 .)
- This is a simple, compact and efficient finder which searches specified
- file_names in directories, subdirectories or drives specified. By using
- optional switches, you can extend search to all the currently available
- drives. This small utility supports verbose listing of all the files
- archived in LHarc, Larc, Arc, Pak and PKzip. You do not need these archivers
- to be present on your disk(s).
-
- [Synopsis]
-
- ffind [-acdhkpqrx] [<drive:>] [<directory>] file_name.
- for command line mode.
- ffind
- for interactive mode.
-
- Optional switch(es) can be set after swhitch-character "-" as many as
- you wish. Please note there are some contradictory combinations where
- one overrides another. The switch h is a special switch to display
- the help menu.

- The archiving methods supported are ARC,ZIP,Larc and LHarc files.
- Please check if an archived file with .arc extension can not be
- opened, whether it is packed by Pak or not. Some of the earlier versions
- of Pak and Pkarc had .arc extensions.
-
- Please try and make experimentation on this small and fast utility.
- Some switches, like -a will override drive specifications. The switches
- may be specified in any order.
-
- An interactive mode is open when you simply type
-
- ffind
-
- and you will be shown switch names and is prompted to type in switches
- and file_name you are looking for.
-
- ffind ?
-
- will show you the help menu.
