1. Ask and ye shall receive... Yesterday I posted asking whether anyone
else has experienced loooong delays getting Mac Tools Deluxe upgrades
from Central Point Software. Got home, and the box was sitting on my
doorstep. Talk about fast response!

2. The Locate DA supplied with Mac Tools Deluxe appears to offer the
same kind of search capabilities as a 'grep'. It will search a volume
(or maybe folder?) for a string, looking both at file name and contents.
Looks like it's got some boolean capabilities, and it will display file
contents in a text window, and allow launching right from the search
window. As you can guess, I haven't tried it out yet, just got the above
from skimming the manual last night.
