Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them.

  2. NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
  3. Scan the source code with Minnow's Project Scanner

If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net including:McAfee.com

Fair start. Needs improvement. Cannot do multiple pattern search (*.txt;*.doc). The FindFirst API is fast, but your string search is slooow and inaccurate. Searched for *.pdf containing word 'address' and it found 4 files that weren't correct. Also, it missed 6 others that windows found. Also doesn't search zip files. Accuracy is more important than speed. 4 Globes. Keep working on it.

Any particular reason why you're not using the PathMatchSpec() API function? It's much better for globbing that writing a custom function. And you've even declared it in your type library!
