Hi! Gerald,

In a message to Ben Ritchey you wrote:

Why not make the task a little harder: only those archives (selected using
a right mouse click, or a filemask select, or, for any archives on
all/selected drives) containing files with a specific filemask, say *.dat,
and of those only those containing a string, say "Hi! Gerry", in
them?  I use a doo-hickey here that can do that.  But it ain't DOS though
it will run on your shiny new Win98 PC.  It's called Total Commander and
can be got from:

BTW, I lost your netmail where you spoke about the Norton Commander due to
another glitch in the message area.  :(  I still have a copy of NC here,
and it will work with large capacity drives; it reports the correct free
space but can't indicate the actual size of the drive.  That's where TC
(above) comes in.  TC is a direct replacement for NC, with a *lot* of
extras.

Cheers,
Paul.
