FileFind Amiga! Version 1.2    (4-22-88)
Copyright 1988 by Ray Lambert

Usage: FF [DRIVE:[PATH/]]FILENAME ...
  [DRIVE:] = Optional drive to scan
  [PATH/]  = Optional path to begin scan at
  FILENAME = File to search for (Wildcards allowed)

  FileFind will search all directories beginning with the specified directory
(Default = Root) on the specified drive (Default = Currently logged drive)
for  all files which match the specified filename. Wildcards are allowed in
the filename. Version 1.2 now supports MS-DOS wildcards ( * and ? ), as well
as AmigaDOS ( #? ), and it also accepts multiple command line arguments (in
keeping with the spirit of ARP!) Version 1.2 is a full 55% faster than
Version 1.0 mainly because of the use of AmigaDOS' Examine() and ExNext()
instead of Lattice C's dfind() and dnext(). I was able to use a recursive
algorithm to read the directory tree with AmigaDOS' functions that I wasn't
able to use with Lattice's functions. To re-compile FF12.c simply boot with
Lattice and type EXECUTE FF12.C

  FileFind will not compile directly with Manx because it uses some functions
that are specific to Lattice.

Usage Examples:
  To search current drive for file FF.C             type: FF FF.C
  To search drive df1: for file FF.C                type: FF DF1:FF.C
  To list all .c files on drive df1:                type: FF DF1:*.C
  To list all .c files on drive df1: AND df0:       type: FF DF1:*.C DF0:*.C
  To list all .c files on drive df1: in directory
    df1:Source and all subdirectories of df1:Source type: FF DF1:SOURCE/*.C
