LOCATE OPERATIONS
Log in to the directory in which the
desired index is located.
Type the command :
locate <keyword> [<keyword> ..]
where each <keyword> is a sequence of letters.
Everything typed after a command is called a
command tail. Note that keywords less than
three characters long were not indexed and hence
cannot be "found". Entering more than seven
characters of a keyword does not hurt but is not
significant.
The screen displays a list of file names
containing the same keyword codes as listed in
the command tail.
If an error occurs, it is probably because
one or more of the required files is missing.
They are LOCATE.COM, MAP.INX, ENTRY.INX, and
KEY.INX.
