There is a very simple way to do it by using the ARP 1.3 "search"
command. First you define alias for find:

	alias find search FILES ALL []
 
And now you can do like this:

	find . * | zoo aI archive[.zoo]

or like this:

        find dh0:usr/src/foo/ * | zoo aI archive[.zoo]

There is one thing I miss: Unix-like (tcsh) foreach command. Is there
such program already?
