It will search your whole hard disk for a particular word. You can then immedaitely open each file or search through it. Works fast, too: On my Mac Plus, I just scanned my disk for files containing the word "Cuckoo" ... took just over a minute to search 80 Mbytes. Zippy! Since it's a desk accessory, it's always available. Good stuff. -Cliff Stoll cliff@cfa.harvard.edu
