File Find
                          Introduction

The File Find helps you find files on your hard drive (or network
volume) by searching for all files that match the specification
you enter.  Unlike other programs, however, File Find searched
the file name for the characters you enter regardless of where
they appear in the name (or extension).

For example, if you search for "HQ" all of the following files
will be located:

     HQINFO.TXT
     ABOUTHQ1.DBF
     PROJECT.HQ2

Notice that the position of the letters HQ are not important. 
The entire file name and extension are always searched.

You are granted a 15 day evaluation period to try File Find.  If
you use it after this evaluation period you must register it. 
Please see the on-line help system for details about the license
agreement and  the registration process.
                      Initial Installation

This program is provided in one of two forms.  It is either part
of an Applications diskette or can be downloaded individually
from CompuServe or other BBS systems.

Diskette
If the program is provided on diskette and you have used the
diskette's install program, the software has already been
installed and program manager icons created.  You can begin using
it immediately.  Please see the section "Running for the first
time."

Download
If you downloaded this file you should follow the instructions
below.   The program is provided as a self-extracting executable
file.  Just follow the instructions below to install the program
on your hard drive.  You MUST already have a copy of the Visual
Basic 3.0 runtime DLL VBRUN300.DLL.  It must be installed in your
Windows \SYSTEM directory.  If you do not have this file you can
download it from the Microsoft Visual Basic forum on CompuServe. 
This file is not included with File Find.

   1.Choose a drive and directory on which you want to install
     File Find.  If the directory does not exist you must create
     it now.
   2.Copy the File Find self extracting executable (FFIND.EXE)
     into the directory.
   3.Make a backup of this file for safe keeping.  You will
