 Harry: I don't know if your version of LOCATE operates like mine,
 but I tried it again, and believe it or not, when I ask it to identify
 all of the programmes that have been modified today, it comes up
 with nothing, not even the ones that are created by the system when I
 turn on the computer.

 My old DOS programme TODAY had no difficulty identifying these and
 anything else that I might modify or download from the net or as an
 attachment. In fact, it still catches these files, and were it not
 for its increasing difficulty when it comes to handling large
 directories, I'd not complain. I think that I am going to focus it
 on analysing a single directory at a time, rather than the whole
 system. It still can handle that, it seems.

 In any case, thanks for your effort Harry.
