    Copyright
    ---------
    FindCopy is copyrighted by me, Dr. Ice in 1996-97, but is released
    as FREEWARE. This program may NOT be sold for any profit, except
    from disk-charge and mailing exspences. The author can NOT be held
    responsible if FindCopy should crash, or damage your system..
    Use it on your own risk (I do ;)), you are warned..

    What is FindCopy?
    -----------------
    FindCopy is a program that can find a filename within ABBS
    in less than 5-6 seconds ;).. But, if the Filecache (togglecache)
    is on, it will take 1-2 seconds to find it.. We are talking
    about micro-seconds! ;).. This is quite like, but unlike the
    FindFile program someone made for ABBS earlier...

    Why the speed !?
    ----------------
    The reason for FindCopy being so fast as it is, is because it's
    not using/loading any .FL files to check with. In other words;
    It uses the ABBS mainport! :)

    Test
    ----
    I have tested this program with and without filecache (these values
    are tested when NOT finding a file):

    Tested with Amiga 4000/030 2+18 MB RAM

    Without Filecache: 6 seconds
    With Filecache   : 0.40 seconds, great huh!?

    Usage
    -----
    Make sure you have these files:

    * PPMORE	- Should be located in C:
    * LhA	- Should be located in C:
    * LZx	- Should be located in C:
    * ARJ       - Should be located in C:

    You can run this program in two ways, eigther by writing:

    FindCopy filename

    Or you can just write:

    FindCopy

    The last one will open a text requester asking you to enter the
    name of the file you wish to find.. When found, a requester will
    pop up with these choices:

    Cancel, Copy to, View, Extract and About..

    Cancel    - Quit..
    Copy to   - Copy the found file to a new destination..
    View      - View Archieve..
    Extract   - Extract archieve..
    About     - Show some (useful) info..
