Ed the Excellent, >>List… PMJI, but LIST is great – extremely fast, compact, full of features: list files by wildcard, view binary files in hex, editor support, etc. – I've been using it for years. It's a shareware program, available on CIS, but I don't know where. To get you started (until you find the latest on CIS), I've taken the liberty to send it to you – check your email. I can't seem to find the docs, however, so you might want to find and download the package to get the most out of it. It's real easy to use: type LIST FILENAME. To use the wildcards, type LIST FILE*.* or somesuch and use CTRL-PgDN and CTRL-PgUp to switch between files. Press F for a non-case-sensitive search. Press A to search again forward, F9 to search again backward. As far as searching files, I generally use the old DOS Norton FileFind. It can search megabytes of messages in just a few seconds, building a list of all the files that contain a given string. You simply pick a file to view from the list and the text pops up; press a key and move to the next occurance and/or the next file. BTW, I too want to say how much I like your AniPro stuff – the color cycling stuff is amazing! JKJ
