Don – What I'm working on at the moment is a general-purpose program with
syntax similar to Irv Hoff's FIND54.COM for CP/M. For instance, on my system
the IBM summary files are named IBMAPP.DIR, IBMHW.DIR, and so on. On my old
Kapro I could search all the IBM Forums for Kermit programs with the command
"FIND B:IBM*.DIR *****|KERMIT". Since FIND is not case sensitive (unless you
use a switch) and accepts multiple search strings seperated by "|" I would
get a display (or hard copy) like this:
Searching B:IBMAPP.DIR
***** Lib 1 Blah, blah, blah *****
***** Lib 2 Blah, blah, blah *****
***** etc.
Searching B:IBMCOM.DIR
***** Lib 1 Communications Programs *****
KERM35.ARC 132B 26 Kermit comm program with VT-100 emulation, MS C source
***** Lib 2 etc.
Searching B:IBMHW.DIR ad nauseum.
Of course, I can't use "|" on a DOS command line. – Dale
