Hence, the berth of Findem. Findem searches your drives for a file you give it. Description: ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Findem is a utility that does one task and does it well. You simply enter a filename (with wildcards), press , and it will find all the occurances of that file on your system. I have given Findem the capabilities to search all the drives in your system (an improvement over 'whereis' - which only would search the local drive). You can select which drives it will search. It will even search network drives. Many thanks to those of you who have registered the product and who have given suggestions for improving the product. To Install ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ From a DOS prompt, type A:\INSTALL (or B:\INSTALL if you are using your B: drive). the installation program will install the package onto the drive and directory of your choice. Add the Findem icon to one of your groups in Windows by: From the File Menu, select: New... Choose: Program Item Enter the Following Information: Description: Findem Command Line: C:\FINDEM\FINDEM.EXE (replace with the correct drive and directory for findem) Working Directory: C:\FINDEM (replace with the correct drive and directory for findem) Shortcut Key: NONE Click . You are now ready to use Findem! How to Use: ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Double click on the icon to start Findem. Use the "Options" pull down to select the drives you want to search. Enter the name of the file you are looking for, using wildcards when needed. Wildcard filename examples: FILENAME: WHAT IT LOOKS FOR: ------------------------------------------ filename.ext The file FILENAME.EXT test.* Files with name TEST and any extension *.doc Files with any name that have DOC extensions test.dc?
