- You can do a find under DOS or OS/2 command line, just by typing,
- "dir /a/s/b \xxxx*" where xxxx is what you want to find. This only works
- on one drive at a time, but you could write a script to handle more than
- one. (I notice the original poster says that the DOS version chokes;
- I don't believe this will, but if this is the method being used, then
- I apologize for the bandwidth.)
