                          File Find 1.5
                          Introduction

The File Find helps you find files on your hard drive (or network
volume) by searching for all files that match the specification
you enter.  Unlike other programs, however, File Find searched
the name for the characters you enter regardless of where they
appear in the name (or extension).

For example, if you search for "HQ" all of the following files
will be located:

     HQINFO.TXT
     ABOUTHQ1.DBF
     PROJECT.HQ2

Notice that the position of the letters HQ are not important.
The entire file name and extension are always searched.

If you want to look for all files which end in a specific
extension you should include the period (.) in the search string.

As files are located they are added to the list in the window.
You can review this list for the file you are looking for.  If
the list is truncated (because of a long path) you can maximize
the window to show more.  You can also use the scroll bars on the
list if the list contains more options that will fit in a single
window.

If you double click on an item in the list the full path and name
are copied to the clipboard.  You can then use Shift-Ins or
Ctrl-V to paste the path and file into a dialog box or document.
This allows you to quickly access a file without having to
remember or write down the path.

Steps to search for a file:
   1.Type the characters you want to look for.
   2.Select the drive you want to search.
   3.Select the path you want to search.  All subdirectories are
     always searched.  If you want to search the entire drive
     select the root directory.
   4.Click on the Search Button.
   5.To abort the search click on the Abort button.  To exit the
     program click on Quit.
Please note that the search process takes a great deal of CPU
resources.  Mouse clicks may be delayed for a few moments.

Thank you for using File Find.  Please don't forget to register
the program if you use it past the 15 day evaluation period.
