[Epath uses the undocumented 2eh interrupt.  I've heard of problems
with it, and I've had (different) problems myself.  I'm not going to
post epath since I just posted some batch files that do similar things
without resorting to hackery.  I looked at epath with debug--it's
clever.

I'm also not going to post ff208a either.  It's too similar to the
'find' utility that was posted a few months ago.  However, I'll post
the introductions to the programs and put them in the archives.  If
anyone can come up with some compelling reason why I should post
either of these then they should send me mail.  -russ]

Included herewith are two utilities I find quite handy.
One, epath, is much easier to use than the one posted
to comp.sys.ibm.pc called chgpath. Besides, chgpath
doesn't work on the pc6300+.

The other is ff208a.  This is a fast file finder which
can search whatever disks the user names.  It can also
be used to clean out files (including asking first), or 
to jump to the directory  of the found file.  With this
listing is an explanation of a mixup of a posting to
a local BBS---just to make sure you know this is the
real thing.
