Introduction
        Files are always lost. And yet the file finding utilities are
        hard to use, or look terrible. So we here at SEMS electronics
        decided to develop a file-finding utility that is good looking 
        and easy to use.

System requirements
	Because FindFile works in VGA graphics mode, you'll need a VGA
	graphics card. Cache improves the speed of the searching 
	dramatically, but it works without it. And a mouse is required, the
	program will probably lock up if you start it without a mouse and
 	a mouse driver installed. 

Using FindFile
	FindFile is easy to use. Just type 'FINDFILE' and a rendered menu pops
        up. 
           The first time you use FindFile you should click on the 'Options'
        box, so that you can specify the drives to search. If you want to
        search for files from a drive that is not selectable, you'll need
        to click on the small space under the 'Other drive:' text and press 
        the drive letter to search for. If you want to save the list of files
        to a file, click on the black space under the 'Save list to a file' 
        text and type the filename for the list. Then you can save the options
        by pressing the 'SAVE OPTIONS' button. Note that the file to save the
        list to will not be saved. When you're done you can press the 'BACK'
        button to get back to the menu.
           When you want to search for the files, you click on the 'Find'
        button. Then you'll need to specify the file to search for (wildcards
        are accepted, for example if you want to search for every .TXT file
        you'll type '*.txt'). After that the searching begins. If you want to
        cancel the searching, press any key. After the searching you can
        scroll the list of files (presuming that there are too many files to 
        fit in the window) by clicking the 'PgUp' and 'PgDn' buttons. Note 
        that the first time you click on one of the buttons the list goes 
        to the beginning. The paths may sometimes be too long to fit in the
        window, so you can use the 'Save to file' option from the options
        menu and see the paths from the created file. Press a key to 
        return to the menu. If you've done with searching, click on 'Quit' 
        to quit. If you want to search for more files, click on 'Find' or 
        on 'Options' if you want to alter the settings.
      	
Troubleshooting
	FindFile must be ran in the same directory with the FINDFILE.MNU and
	SVGA256.BGI. The FINDFILE.INI is not required, but then you'll need
	to click on options, because no drives are selected. When you click
	on 'SAVE OPTIONS' it will create a new FINDFILE.INI file in the 
	current directory. 

Making a batch file
        Because the files are needed in the current directory it's suggested 
        that you make a batch file to run FindFile.
	Here's an example:
           @ECHO OFF
   	   C:
   	   CD\FINDFILE
   	   FINDFILE
   	   CD\
   	If you use this batch file the files must be placed in C:\FINDFILE. 
   	You could name this batch file FF.BAT and place it in your path.

	  This version of SEMS electronics FindFile is FREEWARE!
	  The only obligation is that you keep all the files together,
	  and without changing them. Preferably in the original ZIP.

		The next versions of FindFile will contain:
		  - the ability to search for files from
		    the command line
		  - automatic detecting for available 
		    drives on the system
		  - the ability to search for files by
		    their contents
		  - fewer bugs
