Number one advantage is the fix for the BACKUP program.  As far as I know,
haven't seen it in the manual anyway, PATH only supports program searching.
I will have to look in the DOS manual to double-check, after I go back to
the office.  I use a program called SEARCH, that I got off the BBS system
that I am the SYSOP of.  It is just like PATH, but does what you (and I)
want, file search, not just program search.
