Assuming that you are speaking of my 'find' program, and if not, you can ignore
this...

Yours is the first indication I've seen of any problem with find (qfind as it
was called in the shar). It has been up on Compuserve for quite a while, both
in the beta testers library and in public, with no reported problems. I took
the precaution of unsharing, decoding, and comparing the files with my own
originals, to make sure they came across ok.

Please email me any details as to the nature of the GURU, the command line
used, and anything else you may think releveant. I definitely want it to be
solid.
