Have started to use 4DOS instead of COMMAND.COM and like 4DOS very much. However, I have been able to find a string search (FIND) function but have not found and file search/locator function, similar to a WHEREIS.COM. Am I missing something, or does no version of 4DOS have this yet? M Volow, VA Medical Center, Durham, NC 27705 mvolo@ecsvax.UUCP 919 286 0411

You might try CHKDSK /V | FIND "filename" where filename is in capital
letters. This is fairly quick and produces a clean output. One note
however is that if there is any lost clusters your machine will appear to
hang, but fear not a control C (^C) will regain the prompt to correct
this problem just do a CHKDSK /F. Let me know if this helps. I set
up an alias, alias lo*cate `CHKDSK /V | FIND "%1"`.
