The author of this program take no responsibility in any loss of data or
failures. The user assumes full responsibility for the use of this program.

Let me present you the shareware program call Finder. Yours to try
for 30 days free. After the 30 days, you have to register to get the complete
program.


Finder let you search in database to find string of text to translate the
string, but you have to use the same number of characters or less.


When you enter in the program, you will see a list of database. You have to
select one and choose between the two options :

   - Finder-it : This option will list every string of 6 characters or more
                 in the database selected. Choose the string you want to
                 modify and select edit, make your change, but you have to
                 use the same number of characters or less if you don't want
                 bug. After your editing the string, you save the change or
                 cancel it.

   - Find/Repl : This option let you do 2 things:

                 The first option let you search and replace string in the
                 database selected. To use this option, you have to enter the
                 2 strings in the field 'Find' and in the field 'Replace' and
                 select the button 'GO'.

                 The second option let you search a string and move the record
                 with a match in the unfiled category. This option is use only
                 with database like AddressDB, MemoDB and so on. To use it, you
                 have to enter a string in the field 'Find' and press the
                 button 'Find/Move'.

          Note : You could search string less then 6 characters, but be careful
                 when you replace text, if you search short string (2,3 or 4)
                 you could change instructions or vital component.




NB1 : When you replace string shorter then the original, 2 possibility could be
      happening depending how the display of the string is in use :

   1. WinDrawChars ("string",5,x,y)
      - you have to check the option "Pad with space". This will replace the
        others characters with space.

   2. StrCopy(str,"string"), WinDrawChars (str, StrLen(str),x,y)
      - you have to check the option "Pad with end of string". This will end
        the string will a NULL.

   To know what option you have to use, you have to try it.

     Ex :
     - if you replace "string" with "sly" and you don't pad with anything,
       it will give "slying"...
     - if the text is "the string is good" and you make a find/repl of
       "string" to "spr", it will give "the spring is good"... so here, you
       don't have to pad with anything...
     - if you replace "string" with "sly" and the programmer had used
       'WinDrawChars("string",5,x,y)' and you Pad With NULL, it will
       show you "sly" and 3 squares (undefined characteres)
     - If the text is the title of a window, always pad with space.

     ****************************************
     * NB : it's safer to pad with space... *

NB2: The database with a L (lock) flag can't be selected to search string with
     Finder, because they are in the ROM and can not be modify.
