Justin: Why, of course UNIX is the KING of tools. BUT, there is hope for Windows, yet!!! Look at <Find> option under your Windows Explorer (the new file manager) bar. You can even restrict your search by file type. Then, double-click on the filename to open it.... Of course, this is no comparison to the power of UNIX programs. You could perhaps accomplish the same (and more) by a clever arrangement of "file", "egrep", "xargs", "grep" and "more" (or, "less"). AND, throw in a perl script to kick off other commands. Did I forget awk and sed ?? Why, I recall a time when even secretaries used "vi" to type memos and reports. I will ask my Mom if she remembers any of that stuff... Cheers! Dinesh
