Subject: Source for PPIP with DateStamping Support

   PPIP certainly was and should still be on my Z-Node (I wrote the version
with DateStamper support, version 1.5 if I remember correctly -- beware of
later versions; several seriously defective ones were released).
 
   Whenever you are looking for a file on a remote system, you should use a
command provided for that purpose.  The command generally has one of the
following names: FF, FIND, FILE, FINDF, FINDFILE, FILEFIND, WHEREIS, WIS. 
On my system, all of these and then some are available.
 
   If the command is FIND, for example, you would enter the command as FIND
PPIP*.*.  You should always use a wild expression (maybe even just PP*.*,
and PIP*.* in addition) in case the file name is not exactly what you expect
(such as in a library or squeeze or crunched or with a version number).  On
my system, the commands automatically make the file spec wild, and you can
list several file specs for a single search.  Thus on my Z-Node you could
enter:
 
          FF PPIP,PIP
 
This is equivalent to FF PPIP*.* and FF PIP*.* together.
