Was. When he upgraded it, he changed the name--I forget why, but very
possibly in order to avoid this very confusion. I think that the new name
is SST, and can probably check if anyone is interested. (Ledbetter also
sold the excellent LCD: Led's Change Directory.)

I'll second the recommendation of J P Software's *Take Command* for its
file-searching prowess (and much else). Take a look at
http://www.jpsoft.com. Someone mentioned a PC Mag file searching
utility; I think that there have been more than one, and that one (or
perhaps just a chunk of code intended for reuse?) was written by Tom
Rawson, a (the?) big man at J P Software.
