rem
 rem Here is another program which is fairly standard in it's
 rem use of the Basic language, but which uses some of the advanced
 rem Directory commands of BasicBasic.
 rem

  rem windows size 10,5,70,14

 REM THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS THE USER TO SEARCH A DISK LOOKING FOR
 REM A GIVEN FILE NAME.  IT WILL SEARCH ALL FILES BELOW THE USER
 REM ENTERED PATHNAME

 REM THIS PROGRAM CAN BE EASILY MODIFIED TO SEARCH ALL FILES FOR
 REM A PARTICULAR SEQUENCE OF BYTES
