Tamalpais Technologies - Findem (Version 2.00)
Copyright (c) 1993 - All rights reserved
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Introduction
──────────────
As I was openning a DOS prompt in Windows to use the 'whereis' utility
that was written for DOS, I thought it that a tool was needed to look for
files from Windows directly. Hence, the berth of Findem.
Findem searches your drives for a file you give it.
Description:
──────────────
Findem is a utility that does one task and does it well. You simply
enter a filename (with wildcards), press <ENTER>, and it will find all
the occurances of that file on your system.
I have given Findem the capabilities to search all the drives in your system
(an improvement over 'whereis' - which only would search the local drive).
You can select which drives it will search. It will even search network
drives.
Many thanks to those of you who have registered the product and who have
given suggestions for improving the product.
To Install
────────────
From a DOS prompt, type A:\INSTALL (or B:\INSTALL if you are using your
B: drive). the installation program will install the package onto the
drive and directory of your choice.
Add the Findem icon to one of your groups in Windows by:
From the File Menu, select: New...
Choose: Program Item
Enter the Following Information:
Description: Findem
Command Line: C:\FINDEM\FINDEM.EXE
(replace with the correct drive and directory for findem)
Working Directory: C:\FINDEM
(replace with the correct drive and directory for findem)
Shortcut Key: NONE
Click <OK>.
You are now ready to use Findem!
How to Use:
────────────
Double click on the icon to start Findem. Use the "Options" pull down
to select the drives you want to search. Enter the name of the file
you are looking for, using wildcards when needed.
Wildcard filename examples:
FILENAME: WHAT IT LOOKS FOR:
------------------------------------------
filename.ext The file FILENAME.EXT
test.* Files with name TEST and
any extension
*.doc Files with any name that
have DOC extensions
test.dc? Files with name=TEST and
ext=DC plus any other character
* and ? are wildcard characters for DOS filenames.
To start the search, simply press the "Find'em" button.
The list that is generated can be copied into Window's clipboard to use in
other programs.
