[comp.sys.mac.wanted] Need 'find text in a file' utility.

glf@sppy00.UUCP (Hill) (11/29/90)

I'm in need of a utility which will search for a text string in the
contents of one or more files (text or graphics w/text).

Names of any such beast would be appreciated.  Names of shareware
programs and their ftp location would be even more appreciated.

MacTools by Central Point Software contains a DA called Locate which
does this.
