This program is used for finding things,  still you probably worked that out
from the name ;-). I wrote it mainly because I have access to several Amigas 
(TM), each with several rather large hard-drive's. I found there was a need to
quickly find the location of files on the machines as many of them have files
stored in different locations. There was also  the article in the Amiga
Shopper magazine on a file finding utility. I modified their code a bit (Ok so
now in version 1.3 its a lot) and added  substantial amounts, and came up with 
this program.

Current features in version 1.3

-> Find any file on a disk, using standard AmigaDos(TM) file matching patterns.

-> Fully implemented as a commodity, with user definable hotkey etc.

-> Limit search size parameters, only files in a certain size range are checked.

-> Limit date range parameters, only files in a ceratain date range are checked.

-> Window is sizable.

-> Interface is an "AppWindow", when a file or directory is droped on the
interface its path is entered in the path gadget.

-> Now able to search multiple paths.

-> Much faster when doing date or size limited searches.  Now only 25% slower doing
   a date limit search.  60% slower in pre 1.3 versions. Size limit search now
has no visible overhead. 50% slower in pre 1.3 versions.

-> MUCH FASTER overall when searching, upto four times faster than pre 1.3
versions!!!

+ a few bug fixes.

-> Stack overflow fixed. Reported by millions (well at least four people :-)

-> GUI problems when running on non-interlaced NTSC machines fixed.  Reported by
a NTSC A500 user, thanks!

-> Problems with SoftLinked directories fixed.  Well they now work on my
machine, if you know different let me know ;-).

-> All gadget enteries are remembered even if GUI is hidden.

-> Close window gadget now "hides" the interface instead of closing it.

-> Solved problem with overflowing text when using topaz 8 font.
