Great for answering questions like "What Disk is HYDE.LIB on?"
or "Is there anything on the Goodies Disks about Ulam's Conjecture?"
FETCH HYDE and FETCH ULAM is all it takes!

PLEASE read the following!  FETCH works differently depending on
whether you use 4DOS (a shareware COMMAND.COM replacement) and on the
version of DOS you are running:

4DOS (tm) users:

   -  FETCH is sent to LIST.  Press F1 while the FETCH screen is still
      displayed for help on using LIST.  (You may scroll up and down,
      print the entire list, and much more.)

   -  You may type multiple-word arguments, e.g. FETCH FOO BAR.

   -  If you use FETCH with 4DOS and DOS 5, then the search is not
      case sensitive; that is, you may type FETCH FOO to find every
      occurence of "foo", "Foo", "FOO", etc.

Non-4DOS users:

   -  FETCH is sent to MORE.  If the output is longer than one screen,
      press a key to scroll to the next page.

   -  You can only search for single words, e.g. FETCH FOO.

   -  The search is case sensitive; that is, if you type FETCH FOO, it
      will only find "FOO", not "foo", "Foo", etc.  If this is a
      bother, you can either (a) convert the index file to uppercase
      and use FETCH with uppercase arguments; or (b) upgrade to DOS 5!
      If you have DOS 5 but don't have 4DOS, edit FETCH.BAT to allow
      searches that aren't case sensitive.  Just put /i immediately
      after the FIND.  It should then look like FIND /i %1 etc...

Notes:

   -  4DOS users should edit FETCH.BTM to change FETCH;
      non-4DOS people should edit FETCH.BAT to change FETCH.

   -  As written, FETCH assumes that the index file is called GD7.IDX
      and is in the current directory.  It would be better to move the
      index file and FETCH onto your hard disk (in a subdirectory in
      your PATH), and to edit FETCH to reflect the location of the
      index file.  That way, you can FETCH things any time, no matter
      what directory you happen to be in.

Suggestions for improvements to FETCH (especially if you also tell me
how to implement your suggestions!) are requested:
