Thanks a lot for the fast response.
I hadn't expected to see VMS engineering adopting it.
And it's also brandnew (23-Mar-2006). I start in a couple of minutes ;-)

And am now disappointed. This FIND is not what I expected to see.
I expected the following:

FIND

FIND [device-name]

FIND is a utility to allow you to display information about a file,
based on information stored in the files header. FIND operates in
one of two modes, it either displays information read directly out of
the index file, or it asks the disk ACP to return header information
to it. The first mode of operation is used for general searches, and
does not necessarily return the most current up to date information,
as there may be many headers cached in memory, and thus out of synch
with the index file. The second mode of operation is used when you
specify a /FILE_ID or /FULLNAME qualifier, giving it an explicit list
of files to work with. In this case it asks the disk ACP for the
headers, thus getting the most current, up to date information
available, if possible. Note that in either case, the index file is
opened for read acces, thus to use this utility, you must have read
access to the file [000000]INDEXF.SYS, and if using /FILE_ID or
/FULLNAME you must also have read access to the requested files.

FIND takes one paramater, the name of the device whose index file is
to be searched. If device-name is not specified it defaults to
SYS$DISK (your current default disk). It correctly handles rooted
device names, and can handle multi-volume disk sets.

You may limit what files will be displayed by using the appropriate
qualifiers. Most of the qualifiers that affect what files will be
displayed allow a minimum and maximum value, if you do not specify a
maximum value, then it is assumed you want all things greater than
the minimum. If you want a specific value, than you must enter it as
both the minimum and maximum value, i.e.
$ FIND/ALLOCATED=(1497,1497)
would display all files with exactly 1497 blocks allocated.

The VMS Freeware V7 FIND looks more like GREP

Does anyone know more of the original FIND?
