1.  PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM

    Finders Keepers(tm) can search files, replace text, index
    entire hard drives for instant text retrieval, view or launch
    any found files, and edit the found ASCII text files.

    Search files 4 ways:  plain-text search, regular expressions,
    approximate, and sound-alike.  Find words even if they are
    misspelled.  View, edit, or launch found files 6 ways, e.g., by
    associated programs.  An ASCII text editor and a binary-file
    viewer are built in.  With these, click on navigator buttons
    to jump from finding to finding for quick file or document
    examination.  Copy, move, or delete found files.  Save your
    results to disk for future reference.

    Replace text safely across multiple files and folders.  Choose
    from 4 levels of confirmation, including word by word.  Changed
    files are backed up automatically.  You can replace by regular
    expressions.  You can use a password to disable replace
    functions for risky users, such as kids or new salesmen.

    Index selected files or your entire hard drive to find a word
    with split-second text retrieval.  Immediately see the list of
    files the word is in, and view or launch those files 6 ways.
    You can find misspelled words in the index easily.  Use the
    index to keep an overview of writing projects.

    Advanced features include about 70 options to control find and
    replace operations, what appears in results, file extensions--
    such as ".sys"--to exclude from all operations, and so on.
    Other functions include touch, change file attributes, batch-
    mode find and replace, binary-character search, list files,
    and drag and drop from Windows Explorer.

    The program has pop-up, context-sensitive help via the F1 key.
