Re: Search through recent files only

["M.W. Poirier" poirmw@xxxxxxxx]

I can't answer this question directly. However, if you want to search
through all of your files in a directory, or even on a hard drive, in
very quick order, you have two options. Download and install the DOS pro-
gramme MINITRUE. It's free and it's surprisingly quick. The alternative
is to install Lotus Magellen. It too is free and can be obtained from
the net. This is an amazing programme which may be over-kill to some
extent.
