Andrew, I'm currently off-line, so I can't do a search at the moment. However, there are a number of ways to go about relatively quick searches in interactive mode. The first place I'd try would be the Amiga FileFinder, which you can get to with the "GO AMIGAFF" command from any CIS prompt. Keep in mind that the FileFinder is not 100% accurate, as it is only updated about once a month. The other way to search is to search the libraries in each of the Amiga forums. From any "Lib xx!" prompt, you can enter the command: "DIR TM*.*/LIB:ALL" which will give you a short list of all files matching the pattern entered, searching every library in that forum. You would have to repeat this in each of the Amiga forums (AmigaUser, AmigaArts, AmigaTech), but it's a single command for each forum, and it will be 100% accurate. Note that I used a "wild card" pattern to specify the file name. This is because our file names are limited to 6 characters for the main part of the file (and 3 for the extension), and I'm guessing as to the name used which roughly matches what you are searching for. You could also do a "keyword" search, using a command like "DIR /KEY:texture/LIB:ALL" if you're looking for something with "texture" as a keyword. Hope this helps…. – BobR
