- Sub uses standard PC/MS-DOS functions (version 3.0 or later), it support
- redirected input/output. Correct screen output requires ANSI.SYS to be
- specified in your CONFIG.SYS file (DEVICE=ANSI.SYS). If you use Sub via
- modem, your communication program must emulate VT-100 or ANSI protocols.
- Permanent parameters can be specified in your environment. Your AUTOEXEC.BAT
- should specify: 'SET SUBSPEC=/x/x...' (eg.: SET SUBSPEC=/c/f).

- This program can be distributed freely if it is done without profit.
- Individuals can use Sub free of charge. Non-individuals users, please, send me

- Many thanks to James Bach for his support since the very first release
- of Sub and SubA. Try Sub's brother 'SubA'. SubA does what Sub does except
- access to DOS functions but SubA can search inside *.ARC files. Use SubA as
- an advanced WhereIs program. SUBA.ARC should be available where you got
- this program.
