I run both, JVARC or some such thing requires FILES.BBS, so sometime during 
the night, I create one, and I use this to do file searches with a REXX 
script, saving me the trouble of figuring out a C script to do the same.

OPUS works so well, I forget how it works.  I bet it would take me longer to 
set up OPUS now than it did when I first unzipped the sucker... Of course I 
wasn't embarrassed to ask questions then...
