-----FIND.COM-----
by Ward Christensen
OVERVIEW:
Finds ASCII, upper case character strings in a file.
May take a generic file name, thus may search all .ASM files
on a disk. Also very useful for finding things in MAST.CAT -
for example if you have multiple VDM routines: VDMSCROL.ASM,
PRINTVDM.ASM, etc you could FIND MAST.CAT VDM to see them all.
USAGE:
find b:*.asm alpha
will find all occurrences of ALPHA in all .ASM files on B:.
Used with LIST.COM which takes a starting line number,
you can: 1) use find to find a particular part of the code,
then 2) use LIST specifying a starting line number just before
the part of the code you wanted to see.
DEPENDENCIES:
Note that FIND is a quickie program - it gets the label
to search for from the second FCB so you can't put some
special characters in the ASCII string. I.E.
find b:*.asm in.to
would find IN (since .to would be put as the filetype).
