FindFiles 2.0.0.202

FindFiles is a Command Line tool for searching for specific files within a designated group of folders. It can be used to quickly check whether certain files are present in the specified directories.

FindFiles provides a convenient way for scripts to rapidly and accurately determine the presence of a specified set of files in either the default PATH or any user-defined PATH. This capability enables scripts to confirm the availability of crucial files before proceeding further.

It is designed to function similarly to the WHERE.EXE utility that was part of the old Windows Resource Kit.
