                            File Find
                          Introduction

The File Find helps you find files on your hard drive (or network
volume) by searching for all files that match the specification
you enter.  Unlike other programs, however, File Find searched
the file name for the characters you enter regardless of where
they appear in the name (or extension).

For example, if you search for "HQ" all of the following files
will be located:

     HQINFO.TXT
     ABOUTHQ1.DBF
     PROJECT.HQ2

Notice that the position of the letters HQ are not important. 
The entire file name and extension are always searched.

                      File Find Evaluation
You are granted a 15 day evaluation period to try File Find.  If
you use it after this evaluation period you must register it. 
Please see the on-line help system for details about the license
agreement and  the registration process.
                      Initial Installation

This program is provided in one of two forms.  It is either part
of an Applications diskette or can be downloaded individually
from CompuServe or other BBS systems.

Diskette
If the program is provided on diskette and you have used the
diskette's install program, the software has already been
installed and program manager icons created.  You can begin using
it immediately.  Please see the section "Running for the first
time."

Download
If you downloaded this file you should follow the instructions
below.   The program is provided as a Zip executable file.  Just
follow the instructions below to install the program on your hard
drive.  You MUST already have a copy of the Visual Basic 3.0
runtime DLL VBRUN300.DLL.  It must be installed in your Windows
\SYSTEM directory.  If you do not have this file you can download
it from the Microsoft Visual Basic forum on CompuServe.  This
file is not included with File Find.

  1. Choose a drive and directory on which you want to install
     File Find.  If the directory does not exist you must create
     it now.
  2. Copy the file FILEFIND.ZIP into the directory.
  3. Make a backup of this file for safe keeping.  You will
     delete this file later.
  4. UnZip the file with your UnZip tool.
  5. Delete the file FILEFIND.ZIP.  It is no longer used.  Make
     sure you make a backup per step 3 above.
  6. Create a Program Manager icon for File Find and link it to
     the EXE file FILEFIND.EXE.
  7. Please see the section "Running for the first time."
                   Running for the First Time
  1. Start the program by double clicking the new File Find icon
     in Program Manager.
  2. Since this is the first time you are running this program
     you are prompted for your Company Name, Your Name, Phone
     Number, and optionally your CIS ID (not password).  This
     information is saved for future reference.  The serial
     number is assigned and the registration reminder screen
     displays.  (This screen will never display after you
     register the program).
  3. Click the Continue Button to continue to the application.
  4. To access the on-line help system (which contains important
     information about the operation and license agreement  for
     File Find), press F1.
  5. A file with the .REG extension is created in the same
     directory as File Find.  This file contains your name and
     phone number and is used during the registration process. 
     It contains important information and should not be deleted.
  6. Installation is complete.
