I have used the following for 10 or so years:

[1] c:\>which which

"X:\"
which.btm     Dec 31 2000         215  "which.btm"

1 item found:  1 file, 0 directories.
   Total of file sizes:  215 bytes     0.21 K

[1] c:\>type x:\which.btm
@echo off
if ".%1." == ".." goto help
alias | grep -r "^%1=" ^ *locate %1 /t /l /x
goto end

:help
echo USAGE which command
echo    shows where command is to be found on the path or as an
alias

:end

Locate is from Charles Dye:

[1] c:\>locate /?

LOCATE.COM   v1.30   09-08-2002   C. Dye   raster AT highfiber DOT com
Freeware.  Copyright 1995-2002, Charles Dye.  No warranty!

Syntax:  LOCATE [filespec] [switches]
  /H   Hidden or system        /D-  find files, not Directories
  /X   .COM, .EXE, .BAT        /D+  find Directories only
  /Fn  only First n items      /D   find both (default)
  /A   check Attributes        /T   path search
  /0   0-byte files            /R   local hard drives only
  /G   Go to directory         /K   Kill (delete) items
  /N   bare Naked display      /W   Wide display
  /S   Summary info only       /P   Peter-style display
  /L   Win95 Long filenames    /NP  No Paging

  /B:"command" Batch output    /D:[start][,end]  Date range
  /O:"string"  macro Output    /T:[start][,end]  Time range
  /C:"string"  run Commands    /S:[small][,big]  Size range

Space between the filespec and any switches.  Output will be paged
unless it is redirected or /NP used.  Specify default switches in a
LOCATE= variable.  Try /D? /T? /S? /A? /B? or /O? for more help.
