	Created by this project?  No.

	We have to support over thirty different OSes.  It would not be 
practical for us to try to create searching programs to support all 
those OSes.  Feel free to use grep or some other standard searching 
tool on your local machine for archives that you have downloaded.

	If you wish to integrate a searching tool into your archives, you 
can follow the example at
