I haven't had a problem with text >searches yet. NewZap 3.20 does indeed have the problem. If you are searching for either a text string or a byte sequence that spans sectors (ie. NewZap sectors), it will not be found. If you haven't had a problem yet, it means that you haven't searched for anything that spanned sectors, or that you just didn't notice when something wasn't found. -larry -- This life is a test. It is only a test.
