I've seen a program that searches a drive for a named file. I've also seen
a program that does the same thing while peering into .ARC files for any
occurrence of the named file. I've even seen a program that will search all
available drives for the occurrence of the named file. 

What I'm looking for is a program that will search one or more drives, that
will also examine .ARC, .LZW, .ZIP, and .ZOO files for the occurrence of
a named file.

If anyone can steer me in the direction of a program that performs this handy
little operation, I'd be eternally grateful. I'd prefer shareware, but I'm
not adverse to reasonably priced commercial software.

Thanks in advance.
