In article <645@bnr-fos.UUCP> protcoop@leibniz.uucp () writes about
having problems with DirMaster.

I have been using DirMaster 1.1 and like it except for two annoyances:
It takes too much effort to search for another set of files and it does
not have a configuration option for databases on the hard disk.

To look for all files that have "brush" or "icon" in their names, I have
been doing th following:
  1) Select Fields from the Display menu to include all records.
  2) Select Custom from the Display menu, select submenu Names.
  3) Enter "*brush*" in the first "include" string gadget and "*icon*"
     in the second.  Select the "OK" button.
Too look for another set of files, I have had to do all three steps
over again, which includes 90 seconds for resorting the records.

What I would really like is for Gregory Peters to supply a program that
can be run from the CLI to answer the simple question "what disk has
program such-and-such?".  Using DirMaster to read its own database is
overkill.
