 Doing the check in every dir would likely be pretty slow.
 What I'd probably do would be to look for either ANT-VIR.DAT
 or DESCRIPT.ION (whichever I expected to be rarer) globally.
 Direct that to a file, and parse it for paths to be used
 in a FOR check on a smaller run of FFIND.  Some more tightening
 might help, but I expect just doing it in stages like that would
 be much quicker than doing it every time.
... My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
