FML.COM (Find in Mast.Lst) is a string locater for use with
Irv Hoff's MCAT/XCAT disk catalog programs. This program defaults to
MAST.LST or can be used with any file whose name is mentioned on the
command line. See LOOKUP.DOC and LOOKUP.Z80 in this .LBR for more de-
tails.
The good news is that FML will find files in MAST.LST much
faster than 'FIND MAST.LST FNAME'. The bad news is that your MAST.LST
file must be small enough to fit into TPA. If larger, a statement says
the entire file is too long and the excess will be unavailable. It will
work normally to that point. It takes something like 2700 file names to
exceed normal available space, however.
To use, simply enter FML (and NOTHING else to default to MAST.LST).
After a few seconds the '==>' prompt will appear. Now enter your file-
name string and stand back. All matches will be displayed quite rapidly
followed by another '==>', awaiting your next entry. To exit to CP/M
simply enter a <CR>.
A sample FML session is shown below:

That's it folks -- a tiny mod. to an old (1982) program
which creates a useful utility for FINDing files in my 28k MAST.LST
file -- hope you find it useful too. Please don't send money for
this one.....

of improvements on my first version)
