PURPOSE

    ZSearch is as simple search utility


    His template is:

    FILE/A,SEARCH/A,CS=CASESENSITIVE,B=BUFFER/N

    
   
    FILE    - The file to scan (no wildcard allowed)
 
    SEARCH  - The word to search for

    CS      - Search case-sensitive (faster...)

    BUFFER  - Size of search buffer (equal to file size if not present)

HISTORY


    1.0     (25.02.96)  - First version

    1.0b    (09.03.96)  - Added B=BUFFER/N option
                        - Fixed a little bug

    1.0c    (16.03.96)  - No longer "No enough memory" when
                          trying a small buffer
                        - Little speed improvement
                        - Auto switch to a small buffer
                          if there's no enough memory
                        - Added 030 version (much faster,
                          about 0.4secs)
