- Use the AmigaDOS command 'Search' it has a file option and is able to
- search into subdirectories. I have created an alias in my s:shell-startup
- like this:
-
- alias find c:search [] all file
-
- which means when I want to find a file I don't have to remember the
- syntax and to find file 'steve which is buried somewhere on dh1: I enter
-
- 1> find dh0: steve
-
- you will find it is very fast and no need for fancy find utils.
