[I keep feeding the line eater these poisoned lines, but it won't die]
I have received a few requests for the SEARCH program, so I am posting it
instead of mailing it out.
I case you don't know what SEARCH is, it is a replacement for PATH, ie,
it searches for programs is a search list, but it will also look for files.
I find it very handy for programs like Volkswriter, which require certain
files before it will work. That allows me to be anywhere and still use
Volkswriter. If you are a Sidekick user, SEARCH will also allow you to
be anywhere and still find needed Sidekick files.
The SEARCH.COM file is uuencoded, using the Turbo Pascal posting of a little
bit ago. So, unshar everything, move it over to your pc and then uudecode
the .COM file. The manual is included, so have fun.

X * General Description *
X
X
X SEARCH is an extremely valuable utility program for anyone who uses
X DOS 2.0 through 3.0 with subdirectories on a fixed disk.
X
X SEARCH is a general purpose replacement for the DOS PATH command but
X it is much more powerful and useful than PATH. Unlike PATH, which is
X limited to batch and executable files, SEARCH allows a user to access
X files of all types. SEARCH works with arbitrary programs on arbitrary
X files. Data files, overlay files, help files, batch files, executable
X files, text files, program files, object files and library files all
X become accessible with SEARCH.
X
X Once SEARCH is loaded, it remains resident and occupies approximately
X 1K of memory. SEARCH is compatible with versions 2.0 through 3.0 of
X both PC-DOS and MS-DOS.
X
X SEARCH's command syntax is similar to PATH's. The SEARCH list is set
X with a command of the form SEARCH=[d:]path[[;[d:]...]. SEARCH with no
X arguments displays the current SEARCH list. SEARCH followed by a
X semicolon clears the current SEARCH list. In addition, SEARCH will be
X deactivated (but will retain its current SEARCH list) if SEARCH /D is
X issued. SEARCH /A will activate a previously deactivated SEARCH.
X Simple DOS-style command line editing of the current SEARCH list is
X available via SEARCH /E. Finally, SEARCH /H produces the following
X list of available SEARCH functions:
X
X
X Set....................... SEARCH [d:]path[[;[d:]path]...]
X Clear..................... SEARCH;
X Display................... SEARCH
X Activate.................. SEARCH /A
X Deactivate................ SEARCH /D
X Edit (with function keys). SEARCH /E
X Help...................... SEARCH /H
X License Information....... SEARCH /L
X
X
X
X * Usage Notes *
X
X
X (1) It is advisable for users to make a PATH assignment to the
X directory containing SEARCH.COM in their AUTOEXEC.BAT files,
X for example, PATH=\ with SEARCH.COM on the root directory,
X or PATH=\BIN with SEARCH.COM on \BIN. Thus, SEARCH can always
X be found even if disabled or undefined.
X
X (2) With the single exception noted in (1), users of SEARCH can
X ignore the DOS PATH command and rely strictly on SEARCH.
X
X (3) If both a SEARCH list and a PATH are specified, the SEARCH list
X specification will always be attempted first. The PATH will not
X be invoked unless the SEARCH is unsuccessful and then just for
X batch or executable files.
X
X (4) The SEARCH /E facility will not behave properly if another
X program has changed the normal DOS interpretation of the function
X keys.
X
X
X
X * Incompatibilities with SEARCH Version 1.0 *
X
X
X (1) SEARCH is not fully compatible with with IBM's APL. Users may
X have to disable SEARCH to use some of the APL features.
X
X (2) In general, if a program appears to be incompatible with SEARCH,
X a user can 1) issue SEARCH /D (to deactivate SEARCH); 2) run the
X program; 3) issue SEARCH /A (to reactivate SEARCH).
X
X (3) Please report any incompatibilities or other problems with
X SEARCH to Arborsoft Systems, Inc. SEARCH has been tested with
X many different programs running with DOS 2.0 through DOS 3.0
X on a variety of machines. The only known incompatibility is
X with IBM's APL.
