Jim just set it up to find -name in all directories (which is no fun when
you have a CD mounted, or a DOS hard drive mounted, or a floppy drive
mounted, but it works).  It works.  find -name /*/$1.*.gz   ?  
Something like that.

I think I have succeeded in finding an email address that will work with
this mail list and I just confirmed it with ibiblio.
