    TFIND
          searches for one or more strings (boolean AND) in a text file.
    TFIND reports all lines where the string(s) were found (or NOT found
    by option).

    The search can be limited to a field in a fixed field (i.e. column
    oriented) list.

    An extended search mode is available, where only letters and digits
    are relevant.

    Other options:
      case sensitive search,
      alternative errorlevel with number of hits,
      header line with file name, LFN, custom prefix


    XFIND
          searches for a string in all given files, and reports the hits
    by file name only. Subdirectories are scanned by option.

    The resulting list of files may be redirected to a file (to be
    handled by WBAT LIST, for example), or piped for further processing
    (by a tool like LMOD).

    Control codes (decimal ASCII values) may be included in the search
    string to scan binary files.

    Other options:
      Case sensitive search,
      File name output with relative paths or with LFN's
