Dilwyn, Perhaps I do not load Find properly? I get it into C:of my PC using WINZIP, and then in QPC I copy from DOS1_ to WIN1_ . Then I make find_obj executable with a makeEX_bas program. The size is 45092. But ex win1_find does nothing. ex win1_find;"whatever" does nothing or hangs up.
I always feel a fool when in such situations so hope some wise fellow will put me straight.
