- Features of PKZFIND
- ------------------
-
- o PKZFIND File Finder Plus works like some other "whereis" type
- programs, except with an important Plus. The Plus is that PKZFIND
- will not only search all the directories on your diskette or hard
- disk like other "whereis" programs, but PKZFIND will search
- through ZIP files too. Once PKZFIND finds the desired file,
- PKZFIND can automatically change to the subdirectory where the
- file was found! PKZFIND will allow you to find any file, Zipped
- or not, simply and easily.
-
- o PKZFIND will run on any MS-DOS machine running MS-DOS version 2.0
- or above, and requires only 32K of free memory to run.
-
- o PKZFIND is not copy protected.
-
-
-
- Using PKZFIND
- ------------
-
- Recursively searches subdirectories + ZIP files for specified files.
-
- Usage: PKZFIND [options] [d:path\] file [file...]
-
- Options are:
-
- -b - Brief listing.
- -d - List directory names too.
- -z - Search only ZIP files.
- -n - Do not search ZIP files.
- -c - Continuous listing, no query after each file.
-
- d:path\ - Drive and/or path to start search. The default
- is the root directory of the current drive. If
- just a drive letter is given, the search will
- start at the root directory of that drive. A
- period "." can be used to denote the current
- directory.
-
- file [file...] - List of one or more files to search for. The
- wildcards * and ? can be used as part of the
- filename(s). If no extension is specified, then
- ".*" will be assumed.

-
- The parameters to PKZFIND can be supplied in any order, and are not
- case sensitive. The options can be preceded by either the "-" or
- "/" (DOS switch char) characters. Multiple options can be specified
- together or seperately, in any order. For example, all the
- following syntax are equivalent:
-
- pkfind /dc d: startrek
- pkfind d: -c startrek -d
- pkfind startrek /cd d:

-
- Explanation of options
- ----------------------
-
- -c After finding a matching file, PKZFIND will display a
- "More (ynj)?" prompt. Using the -c (continous listing)
- option will suppress the "More (ynj)?" prompt and cause
- PKZFIND to list all matching files found without stopping.
- PKZFIND can be aborted at any time by pressing Ctrl C or
- Ctrl Break. If DOS I/O redirection is used, this option
- will default on.
-
- Entering "y" in response to the "More (ynj)?" prompt will
- cause PKZFIND to search for the next matching file.
- Entering "n" will end PKZFIND. Entering "j" will cause
- PKZFIND to Jump to the drive and subdirectory where the file
- was found.
-
- -b When PKZFIND finds a file it will display the file's name,
- size, date, and time. If the -b (brief) option is used
- only the file's name will be displayed.
-
- -d Usually, PKZFIND only searches for files. Using the -d
- (directory) option will cause PKZFIND to also display
- any matching directory names as well.
-
- -z The -z (ZIP only) option will force PKZFIND to only
- search ZIP files for the specified file. Files that
- are not in an ZIP file will not be found. If you know
- that the desired file is in a ZIP file, using this option
- can yield better searching performance.
-
- -n The -n (no ZIP files) option is the opposite of the -z
- option. Only normal files will be searched for. Files
- within a ZIP file will not be found. If you know that
- the desired file is not in a ZIP file, using this option
- can yield better searching performance.
