Once again it must be pointed out that locate only operates on file names. Beagle looks at file contents. They're not interchangeable. Furthermore, even if you combine one of the grep family of programs with locate you won't recreate Beagle's capabilities because Beagle extracts text contents from a variety of file formats even when that textual content represented in obscure ways. Look at a PDF file once, there's so much extraneous formatting information interleaved with the text that only rarely would grep or other textual search find what you're looking for. The same goes for PostScript, Word and almost any word-processing or document distribution format. There are alternatives to Beagle, but I'm not sure they're any more "ready for prime-time" than Beagle is. > Fred Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
