ABOUT THE PROGRAM Text Scanner was Developed as an aid in searching for Text within Files stored within Directories or Multiple Drives on a Computer System. The Text Scanner is also capable of seaching Network orShared Folders. The Windows Operating System does not have this 'Grep' feature by default which is common within any Unix or Linux environment. The Features available within this Software Tool can be effective when used correctly. When a Scan for Text is started the Software will provide feedback on how many Files found contain the Text along with the Position within the File and File Size. At the end of a Scan, details of the Time taken and Total Files searched is also displayed along with a List of all Files containing the Text for you to view.

How can I practise with my own user name ? - I strongly recommended you not to do this ! E N D N O T E S Distributing your serial number is illegal and is no different than distributing illegal copies of the registered software. Violation of this rule may result in temporary or permanent revocation of this license and cancellation of the serial number; the original licensee will also be held responsible for damages, physical and estimated. Do not distribute your crack release based on this tutorial, because you become a LAMER(s)!!!!!!!! ( tHATDUDE (PC97) defined LAMER(s) is the guy who sits in front of personal computer, using Hex Editor, ripping off other group(s) crack release, repacking (distro) them under his name. Adopted from newsgroup alt.cracks, alt.crackers - February 1997 ) More about LAMER(s): lamer /n./ [prob. originated in skateboarder slang] Synonym for luser, not used much by hackers but common among warez d00dz, crackers, and phreakers. Oppose elite. Has the same connota tions of self-conscious elitism that use of luser does among hackers. < SOURCE: http://sagan.earthspace.net/jargon/jargon_27.html > Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity ASTAGA [WTF/TTM/D4C/C4A] tute-textscanner20.zip [EOF] 1/11/01 1:13:56 AM
