A File Find/Delete Utility
(C) Copyright 1989 - By Ronald C. Bieber
QF.TXT Tuesday, May 2, 1989 12:11 pm Page 2
Let's face it. At one time or another, your going to lose
files. Whether you misplace them in an out of the way subdirectory,
move them to a different drive, or archive them. Well, don't worry.
Now there's Quick Find.
Quick Find was written because, like everyone, I lose files all
the time, and although there are a lot of "whereis" programs out there,
none cover all of the aspects of finding files. THIS ONE DOES! Here
are some of Quick Find's features:
1. FAST directory tree searching.
2. Capability to search every drive on your
computer.
3. Search only the current directory and it's
subdirectories for a file.
4. COMPRESSED FILE SEARCHING!
Quick Find currently supports six (6) of the
majorly used archiving utilities: SEA
ARC, PKware's PKARC/PKPAK, Pkware's PKZIP
(v.092), Nogate Consulting's PAK v.1.6, Rahul
Dhesi's ZOO, and Haruyasu Yshizaki's LHARC
v.1.00. QF can search all of these files to
find what you're looking for.
5. Global delete function - Delete any unwanted
duplicates, anywhere!
Explanation of switches:
------------------------
QF-Quick Find, Version 2.11, (C) Copr 1989, Ronald C. Bieber
Usage: QF [d:] filespec [switches] [>outfile]
Switches:
/A Search for files on all drives
/C Search only current directory and it's subdirectories
/CF Search compressed files (*.ARC, *.PAK, *.ZIP, *.ZOO)
/CO Only search compressed files
/D Delete found files
/N Do not confirm deletions (used with /D)
/P Pause Mode; Press a key to continue ...
Following are the meaning of those archaic switches displayed
above:
/A - Searches all of your drives for the specified file.
/C - This switch is provided for those of us who know what
general area a file should be, but can't find it. This
will cause QF to start searching in the current working
QF.TXT Tuesday, May 2, 1989 12:11 pm Page 3
directory and recursivly search through all of it's
subdirectories.
/CF - This switch will cause QF to search any of the
aforementioned compressed files as if they where just
another directory, along with searching the rest of the
disk.
/CO - This switch will cause QF to search ONLY the compressed
files on your disk. (you can intermix this with the /C
option if you know where the file is and still can't
find it.
/D - Delete Found Files ... When this switch is specified,
when a file is found, QF will ask you if you want to
delete it. And, of course, answering "Y" at this prompt
will delete it.
/N - This can only be used with the /D switch. This turns
off the confirmed delete and automaticly deletes any
files it finds. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU WANT THESE FILES
DELETED BEFORE USING THIS SWITCH!!!
/P - Pause Mode. This will display any found files a screen
at a time. No explanation needed, right?
You can pipe QF's output to a printer or data file too if you
like.
MISCELLANEOUS:
-------------
You may distribute QF as much as you like, as long as this
documentation file is distributed with it. Also, although it's not
required, if you find that you're using QF quite a bit, you could send a
$10.00 donation as well.
All donations may be sent to:
Ron Bieber
231 E. Prairie
Apt. D
Crystal Lake, IL 60014
I stress this:
NO DONATIONS ARE REQUIRED! If you don't feel like
sending anything, then don't. I wrote this for my benefit, and I
thought someone else may find it useful. Anyone is free to use it,
give it to your friends, etc. No charge.

By the way, I will not assume ANY responsibilities for ANY
damages arising from the use of this program. There is not a heck of
a lot that can go wrong, besides the fact of you using the
delete procedure irresponsibly. In other words, USE THIS PROGRAM
AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Oh, I almost forgot, what is a .DOC file without a revision history?
1.00 - initial release. Plain "whereis"
utility
2.00 - added .ARC & .PAK searching
2.10 - added .ZIP searching and global delete.
2.11 - added .ZOO file searching. Fixed error
checking when searching compressed files.
(program would just hang up without
telling you there was an error).
Removed /ARC, /O, /ZIP, /ZO switches and
replaced them with /CF and /CO to search
ALL compressed files automatically.
2.12 - Added .LZH file searching.
Added "Are you sure" prompt and warning
when using the /D /N switch combination.
