[micro.ibm] 4DOS, WHEREIS function

mvolo@uncecs.edu (Michael R. Volow) (12/17/89)

Thanks to all who replied to my query about WHEREIS function in
4DOS. While phoning to register my copy, I learned the following
from the 4DOS people.

'DIR/dp filename' will only search current and child directories for
the requested file. However 'DIR/DP \filename' (with a backslash before
the filename) will start the search from the root directory. However,
the output is not as clean as standalone WHEREIS-type utilities.
