History:
This is a revised version of the popular WHEREIS.COM program. The
revision causes the screen to stop scrolling after displaying 23 lines
and to prompt for more. Depressing any key will resume scrolling for
23 more lines. The revision was designed by John Tuccio of Westport,
Conn. and implemented by Ted Eyrick of San Antonio, Tx. The original
author is unknown.
** IMPORTANT **
Before using WHEREIR.COM it should be renamed to WHEREIS.COM by using
the following command:
REN WHEREIR.COM WHEREIS.COM <enter>

WHEREIS is an MSDOS 2.00 generic utility that searches all
subdirectories for matching file names. This is very useful, and saves
a lot of hair pulling when you know the file is somewhere ...
Run it by:
WHEREIS <filespec>
<filespec> can contain wildcards. No matter what the current
directory is, WHEREIS will search the entire disk, and list the
directory(s) where the file resides.
