Folks,

I am about to release a set of module for file searching.
The difference from the standard BlackBox Find/Replace and Search
procedures is that one can search for "multiple items simultaneously".

Example:
callback
call back
procedure variable

The routine is very fast and examples each character in a file only
once. The routine is based on XSearch developed by Scott Daniels and
Pentti Kanerva in the 1970s.

Compared to BlackBox 'Search' it is about 5 times faster (This must be
qualified since the first time 'Docu' is searched both techniques yeild
similar times. It is the second and subsequent times that Docu is
seached that the speedup occurs. I believe this has nothing to do with
my initialization but rather with either Blackbox or Microsoft's
dirctory allocaion schemes).

If there is any interest in the algorthm I will release the modules with
documentation this week (to Helmut and Component Pascal Collections).

-Doug
