If you're into DOS, you may already be aware that there's a load of so-called
legacy stuff available for free download off the web.
You could start by looking
here for instance (NU45A.exe is there). And
here's another handy one. Depending upon what it is you're actually trying to do, you may even find something useful
here (cc-ps201.zip, for example ... but notice that these are Shareware offerings). As I say, there's a
ton of this sort of stuff "out there". Why people insist on forking out mega £££'s is beyond me!
But, if you have a
little free time to spare, may I suggest that it would be far more interesting to write your own file search program. I would recommend using C.
Turbo C 2.0 and Turbo C++ 3.0 (both for DOS, of course) are also available on-line (as are many other
flavours of C ... the language that "real" programmers use)!
