A short while ago, Rodney Lewis (munnari!bhpese.oz.au!rodney) posted a
Unix-like find to comp.sources.amiga. I would like to say that I *like*
it! On the harddisk, I would be lost without it. Literally. (8-)

Unfortunately, the first thing I tried was:

find dh0:bin -name "*z*" -print

which should find zoo and fiz and rez and z. 

whoops.

I looked through the code and easily found this:

[etc]
          case NAME:

                  if (compare_ok(prim->data[0], name))
                          return(1);
                  else
                          return(0);
[etc]

When the if is changed to:

                  if (compare_ok(&prim->data[0], name))

It works fine. (works find? sorry, couldn't resist) Other than that,
good work!

Keep those little utils coming. (I'm almost finished a mv that will move
directories across devices, preserve permissions, dates, filenotes, etc.
I will send it in when it stops guruing. :-)
