- 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.
