1.   Introduction

     GLORE  is full-featured  program. GLORE  was tested  in the MSDOS
V.4, MSDOS V.5,  DRDOS V.6, WINDOWS95 and WinNT. GLORE  can be used on
all PC from  AT286 with VGA monitor to  Pentium. Coprocessor and mouse
are not supported.

     If you are  working with the modern methods  of programming, your
program is divided  to small source code files. I  have for example in
one  directory  sometimes  more  than  10  files  with  extension .PRG
(Clipper).

     After some time, I need to  modify source code. Some years ago it
was only one  possible way to do this,  manually searching through all
listing from source code.

     Today  exist  more  programs  doing  the  same  things  as GLORE.
However,  GLORE  is  FREEWARE  and  has  some  differences  from other
programs.

     GLORE  performs  a  search  only  in  those  files  there  are in
a filelist. Well, there is a  good and big editor MULTIEDIT. MULTIEDIT
can search  a word in  all .PRG files  by specifying *.PRG  for search
mask. Norton's  FS (file search) can  do this too. But  GLORE performs
search only  in files specified in  the FILELIST. This is  very useful
when the search is performed more than once. Moreover, in the FILELIST
is possible  to specify not only  wildcard name of files.  This allows
use of different file extensi ons in one filelist.

     With GLORE,  you can save time  for more useful work,  or you can
make a break while GLORE is working for you.

2.   How to start GLORE

     Program GLORE must  have a text file, this file  will be named as
filelist. In this file are names of  all files in there will be search
performed.

     As next step, you must select a word, which will be searched for.
This step  will be repeated until  an ESC key is  pressed. While doing
a search,  GLORE ignores  spaces and  tabulators. Different  styles of
writing  with upper  and lowercase  alphabet are  ignored too. This is
useful if you  search all occurrences of SELECT  statement. Select 1 ,
SELECT 1 and select 1 are found by one query SELECT1 .

     For creating of filelist please use MS-DOS command DIR as

    DIR *.prg > zoznam.zoz

Name of file  can be different (zoznam means in  Slovak List). As file
extension, please use still .ZOZ .  I hope that this strange extension
don't  conflict  with  other.  You  can  modify  created filelist with
a simple  editor. Please  remember that  in this  filelist is  between
filename and file extension a space and not a period.

                                                            CLF 1 of 3


My demo filelist ZOZNAM.ZOZ contains following lines:

 Volume in drive C is STOFINO
 Directory of  C:\UTIL\SHAREWAR\GLORE

ALFA     TXT       36  6.06.95 21.46
BETA     TXT       46  6.06.95 21.47
GAMA     TXT       42  6.06.95 21.48
        3 File(s)  11190272 bytes free

     Files  mentioned in  the filelist  are supplied  too. Now  try to
search word "fox". The result is:

*** Searching fox ***
ALFA.TXT     #     3  quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
BETA.TXT     #     4  John Kulikoff Oxford street 227 London
GAMA.TXT     #     2  Foxtrot is a dance.

This is  stupid example, but my  source code files are  big and I need
information in which  line is a word in the  file. Because GLORE still
ignore all spaces,  Mr. Kulikoff is found. The reason  for this is not
a presence of  characters FOX in the  name of this person,  but a fact
that Kulikoff  ends with character "f"  and the next word  begins with
"ox".

     Now try to search "word" 45 . The result is:

*** Searching 45 ***
ALFA.TXT     #     2  45 vtakov letelo na zapad
BETA.TXT     #     1  Gustav Hudec c.d. 35 904 55 Lozorno
BETA.TXT     #     2  Jozef Zajac Pristavna 45   821 01 Bratislava
BETA.TXT     #     3  Zuzana Kratochvilova Nadrazni 145 12000 Praha


     First line is easy (45 birds are flying to west). Second line has
a ZIP code  90455 in which  are 4  and  5 beside next.  Lozorno is not
a word from Italy, this is the name of village near from Bratislava.

     Program GLORE can be started from  command line if the program is
stored in the directory specified by PATH statement. I use C:\NC .

     You can set in the Norton  Commander that for every click on file
with  file  extension   .ZOZ  starts  a  GLORE.EXE  .   This  is  very
practically.

     ZOZ: C:\NC\GLORE !.!

If GLORE  starts with filelist  in the command  line, you can  use any
file extension, not only .ZOZ .

     Results of search  are stored in a file GLORE.TMP  . This file is
not deleted after program exits. You can use this file for printing or
other purposes.
