- This program finds a requested file on any/all disk drives and any
- user area allowed by the system. Just say:
-
-
- A>FILE NAME*.*
-
-
- and it will find any file commencing with 'NAME' on any disk drive
- and any user area. It doesn't matter what user area or drive you are
- in when you start, it commences at A0:
-
- This takes the place of things like: A>DIR NAME*.* $U0AD, or
- A>DIR NAME $AD, etc. (Those commands normally commence at whatever
- drive you are already on. If starting from D3, you must reset to A0:
- before commencing the search or it will skip the A: B: and C: dives com-
- pletely. 'FILE' starts at A0: regardless, making it very convenient to
- use.) It is an universal program that adapts equally well to CBBS, RBBS,
- DATATECH, OXGATE and other similar RCPM systems. It is easy to use and
- gives all users on all systems a common command.
-
- (You can also get the entire directory of all drives and all avail-
- able user areas by saying:
-
- A>FILE *.*
