| LOOKFOR.ZIP | Yes | 12560 | 6/22/1989 | Lookfor 3.2 will search text files for words and phrases. We've rejected many pretenders to the FGREP throne, but if this one does not dethrone Chris Dunford's Fgrep, it at least gets an adjoining seat in our UTIL subdirectories at the PsL. It is not as fast as FGREP, taking 35 seconds to search 2.5 meg of text files for non-existing text compared to FGREP's 22 seconds, but it has two major advantages. The first is that AND and OR can be used to search for more than one word or phrase. The second is that when a match is found, you are shown the match with surrounding text in what turns out to be a file listing utility with which you can view the entire file. Fgrep still has a large number of options that LOOKFOR does not have, such as case-sensitive searches, but LOOKFOR's options make it very valuable to have around too. (David L. Trafton) (Reg.Fee: $15) |
| LSTDSK.ZIP | Yes | 11485 | 2/21/1988 | LstDsk searches a hard disk for a specified file name. LstDsk is flexible in its use of DOS wildcards. For example DIR LS*K.DOC would display all DOC files starting with LS, ignoring any letters after the asterisk (eg: LSTDSK.DOC and LSORT.DOC would both be displayed). LSTDSK does not ignore characters after the asterisk (eg: LSTDSK LS*K.DOC would display LSTDSK.DOC, LSOAK.DOC but not LSORT.DOC, which has no "K" in it.) (Bill Madison) (Reg.Fee: $0) |
| MAXFIND.ZIP | Yes | 22110 | 4/26/1990 | MaxFind 2.3 is a text search utility. It is not as fast as Fgrep and others; however, MaxFind has some nice features that Fgrep does not have: it will search for up to 15 strings on one pass; it will perform and/or searches; it will search an entire hard disk; and like Fgrep, it allows for inexact spelling and wild cards in the search string. (Stanley C. Peters) (Reg.Fee: $15) |
| QFIND.ZIP | Yes | 68406 | 5/9/1993 | QFind 3.0 is an ultra fast file finder. It supports extended disk partitions, all standard DOS wildcard configurations, and automatic search of multiple drives. Options include single drive search, verbose PATH display, and hidden-file-only searches. It has support for directories bigger than 64k, support for 80x43 and 132x43 screen sizes. A search that took 8.46 seconds with another "fast" file finder took only 3.90 seconds with Gavin's Find. It also features a ZIP file search, an auto-wildcard filename parser, an embedded fuzzy search parser, and support for 11 byte PATHNAME.EXT PATH names. (Bruce Gavin) (Reg.Fee: $23-$30) |
| QTEXT.ZIP | Yes | 40891 | 3/26/1991 | Query Text lets you ask questions about information in a text file and displays relevant parts of the file. For example, using some of PsL's old newsletter files, we asked: "What will park the heads on my hard disk?" and it displayed the line that says Njpark "quickly PARKS the read-write HEADS of all HARD disk drives attached to the system." (Emphasis added by Qtext.) Once a passage is located, you can scroll the file at that point to read more or continue the search or quit. The program is fast, well-designed, and makes good use of screen colors. (Steve Myslinski) (Reg.Fee: $0) |
| RCNTX325.ZIP | Yes | 259035 | 3/21/1994 | Racontex 3.25 is a text search and retrieval system which also includes a function that will search for similar or alternate text. (Edward Guy) (ASP) (Reg.Fee: $100) |

(Correlation Systems) (Reg.Fee: $40) |
| SF.ZIP | Yes | 45309 | 4/28/1994 | SuperFind 5.0 is a different kind of file finder. It reads all your drives once, then lets you interactively search for files based on name, attribute, date, and size. It can also execute commands on found files. Because it does not have to re-read the drives each time, it is ideal when you are searching for more than one file. SF also lets you shell to DOS so that you can return to SF later without having to re-read the drives. (David L. Dight) (ASP) (Reg.Fee: $10) |
| SNR.ZIP | Yes | 82879 | 6/21/1993 | SNR 5.31b is a multistring text search and replace filter. Non-text files can also be processed, since the program allows the definition of hex values in a search and replace equation.

It allows searching all drives for files by names (wildcards allowed and character ranges can be given), including Archive files, date and time ranges, file size ranges and display only duplicate filename entries. These search criteria can be combined. It will optionally search the contents of archive files, including looking for corrupted ZIP files. It has the ability to execute DOS commands on any matches found, with replaceable command-line parameters. The program also displays file descriptions from 4DOS/Taxi. It can also search for .COM and .EXE files that have been compressed with PKLite. (Keith Ledbetter) (ASP) (Reg.Fee: $15) |
| TF77.ZIP | Yes | 12721 | 2/18/1989 | TF77 is the file-finding champ. In a comparison test, the old champ, FINDIT, took 7.3 seconds to find specified files. TF77 took an amazing 2.3 seconds. This is even more amazing when you consider that FINDIT used to blow away the competition. If we went back to some of the old file finders, they might take 30 seconds or more for the same search! (Paul Giroux) (Reg.Fee: $5) |

| WHENIS.ZIP | Yes | 30603 | 12/6/1989 | WhenIs 1.2 is a directory search program which can find files by date or time criteria, as well as searching for file names. This is a very useful variation of the old WHERE-IS utility. Some of the powerful (and complex) utilities like DX can do this function, but When-Is makes it easy. An example of its use is if you were looking for a file that you know you created around the middle of May, but you can't remember the name or what directory it is in, you could enter WI AFTER 5-10-91 AND BEFORE 5-20-91. When-Is will quickly display all the names and locations of all files on your hard disk that fall within that range. (Tony Rein) (Reg.Fee: $5) |
