To all those of you who have asked for a copy of the completed program, here
it is. Except that it isn't really complete.

To reduce the program to a practical minimum in an attempt to reduce the
size of this EMail, I have not included any standard Mac GUI stuff, but it is
a full and workable program that you can copy, paste, use and amend as you
wish, free of copyright and therefore guilt on your part.

Apart from the GUI, I'm adding the ability to move the found files to the
trash (rather than KILL them outright), and have it all work automatically,
rather than pause on each found file. Also, I'll probably add searches on
dates, etc.

The program searches all folders on all mounted discs of all types, for a
file name, file type, creator, or combination of file type and creator. The
file name search is not case sensitive, and is a "contains" search. File Type
and Creator are case sensitive. It stops when it finds a match, and hitting
the minus (-) key will DELETE the found file FOREVER !

If you want, you can amend the program to list all mounted hard discs. It's
amazing the amount of rubbish that piles up.

You can speed up the program dramatically by stopping it printing as it runs.

This program is unsupported. Please DO NOT ask me for support or help, 'cause
you won't get it, and I don't like being rude.

The eagle-eyed amongst you may detect the origins of the program, which
you've all got on your hard discs. My acknowledgements to either Staz or
Andy, who probably wrote the original.

Finally, this program is essentially a Kludge to get around the problem of
System 8 Find File. It is neither pretty nor elegant. So please don't tell me
all of the things I could do better. I know. And also if you amend the
program and trash your hard disc, this is your problem, not mine. The program
is unwarrantied, unsupported, and generally un-everything.

Regards, and I hope it's of use.

Phil Yates.
