FETCH, a Goodies Disk Index Hunter, by Joe Horn
Searches through the Goodies Disk Index for any word(s).

	Ŀ
	 Mini-instructions: At DOS prompt, type FETCH 
	 and then whatever you want to hunt for.      
	

Requires GREP and LIST (on this disk); make sure they're in your path.

The search text is not case-sensitive; it doesn't matter whether it's
in capital letters or lowercase letters.

Uses LIST, either the one on this disk, or the one built into 4DOS.

FETCH is great for answering questions like "What Disk is HYDE.LIB
on?" or "Is there anything on the Goodies Disks about Ulam's
Conjecture?" FETCH HYDE and FETCH ULAM is all it takes!

As written, FETCH assumes that the index file is called GD11.IDX and
is in the current directory. It would be better to move the index file
and FETCH onto your hard disk (in a subdirectory in your PATH), and to
edit FETCH to reflect the location of the index file. That way, you
can FETCH things any time, no matter what directory you happen to be
in; and it runs MUCH faster.

Suggestions for improvements to FETCH (especially if you also tell me
how to implement your suggestions!) are requested:
