I agree, but the GnuWin32 people obviously decided differently, and neither I nor even you can do anything about that. In fact, I did my own port of `find' because the one from GnuWin32 was ridiculously slow (due to a misfeature in a library they used to ease the porting job). > I personnally use really few Windows systems and i don't want to learn > how to write DOS scripts. That's fine, but I was not talking about you, I was talking about people whom you advise to. Their preferences could be different. > OTOH the everything program work out of the box. But it looks like it's not 100% compatible with GNU `locate', is it? And I don't see that sources are available.
