Right then. Let's make a test file with some words in it.

paul at verence:/hda3/home/paul/downloads$ cat test
foo
bar
baz
wombat
spqr

Looking at the help your program prints out, it might search the file
for a word. So let's try that:

paul at verence:/hda3/home/paul/downloads$ python IQ.34.py test  foo
NOTICE: file> test <does not contain first line filekey. Default filekey> filekey word: sub: file: <used!
=======
foo
bar
baz
wombat
spqr

Ok, so it prints the file containing the word. Let's try a word that's
not in the file:

paul at verence:/hda3/home/paul/downloads$ python IQ.34.py test notinthere
NOTICE: file> test <does not contain first line filekey. Default filekey> filekey word: sub: file: <used!
=======
foo
bar
baz
wombat
spqr

I give it a file and a search pattern and it prints out the entire
file. I give it a search pattern which is not in the file and it still
prints out the entire file.

Using this example, I conclude that grep is better than VIC. Did I
miss something?
