There is in the public domain, a program called SEARCH.  I use it on my
XT all the time.  It works great, especially with VolksWriter, since
it has to find all of its files.

To get a copy, call the Nicolet BBS: NICBUL.  It is on line from 6pm to
8am M-F and all day on weekends (CT).  The number is (608) 273-5037.
If you can't call in, check your local BBS.  If you can't do that, let
me know via e-mail and I will try and get to you the binary uuencoded.
